We report the synthesis of ZnSb a thermoelectric material by melting, quenching and annealing. Due to the non-stoichiometry of the ZnSb compound, an antimony phase is present in the synthesized ingots. The presence of this secondary phase gives rise to discrepancies in the thermoelectric properties. This study shows an original way to detect and to quantify the percentage of antimony present in the...
