After complete ligand removal by a facile NH3-based etching procedure, the platelets are spark plasma sintered to a p-type nanostructured bulk material with preserved crystal grain sizes. Due to this nanostructure, the total thermal conductivity is reduced by 60 % in combination with a reduction in electric conductivity of as low as 20 % as compared to the bulk material demonstrating the feasibility of the phonon-glass electron-crystal concept.
