The Shanghai Institute of Ceramics has discovered a semiconductor material with ductility comparable to that of metals.

Metals and ceramics/semiconductors exhibit vastly different mechanical properties: metals possess excellent ductility, plasticity, and ease of machining, whereas ceramics and semiconductors are characterized by brittleness, poor plasticity, and difficulty in machining. The study of these fundamental materials is indispensable to human survival and development. Today, metals and ceramics/semiconductors have permeated every aspect of our production and daily life; however, their contrasting mechanical properties have led to nearly opposite application domains for the two materials.

The Shanghai Institute of Ceramics has made significant progress in the research on n-type high-performance diamond-like thermoelectric materials.

In recent years, with the proposal and development of several new thermoelectric transport effects and mechanisms, many new high-performance thermoelectric material systems have been successively discovered. Among these, diamond-like structure compounds, derived from the diamond structure, exhibit lattice distortions due to differences in the atomic radii and valence states of their constituent elements, causing the crystal structure to transition from the cubic structure of diamond to a non-cubic structure.
