The fascinating crystal structure of type‐III clathrates consisting of cage polyhedra of three types (shown in green, red, and blue in the picture) is not the only grace of the compounds in the Si‐P‐Te system. They combine effective charge‐carrier transport and poor transport of heat with chemical stability in air up to 1500 K, making them a solid base for designing powerful thermoelectric materials for high‐temperature power generation.
