Realizing p-type NbCoSn half-Heusler compounds with enhanced thermoelectric performance via Sc substitution.N-type half-Heusler NbCoSn is a promising thermoelectric material due to favourable electronic properties.  It has attracted much attention for thermoelectric applications while the desired p-type NbCoSn counterpart shows poor thermoelectric performance.  In this work, p-type NbCoSn has been obtained using Sc substitution at the Nb site, and their thermoelectric properties were investigated.  With the suppression of thermal conductivity, p-type Nb0.95Sc0.05CoSn compound shows the highest measured figure of merit ZT = 0.13 at 879 K.
