J. Zhou, Z. Liang, and co‐workers successfully apply 3D printing technology to prepare thermoelectric materials. On page 5889, such 3D‐fabricated Bi 0.5 Sb 1.5 Te 3 samples exhibit amorphous characteristics and thus show an ultralow thermal conductivity of 0.2 W m −1 K −1 . Of unique importance, 3D printing fabrication enables the ready generation of shaped bulk TE samples which can hardly be created by traditional hot‐pressing and spark plasma sintering methods.
