Isoelectronic Zn substitution at the Mg site has been proved to be effective in regulating the carrier concentration of p-type Mg3Sb2 Zintl phase. However, the reported thermoelectric performance is still unsatisfactory compared with that of n-type Mg3Sb2 due to the poor electrical transport properties. Here, we report an enhanced average ZT through improving low-temperature ZTs by introducing Zn vacancy followed suppressing the bipolar effect by doping. First, the Zn vacancy simultaneously increases the power factor and decreases the
