Abstract
► A high ZT value is predicted in the lateral-coupling nanowire arrays. ► The lattice thermal conductivity is dramatically reduced in the lateral direction of nanowire arrays. ► The electron transport is preserved in the lateral direction due to the coupling effect. ► The ZT value is largely enhanced as the nanowire volume fraction exceeds some critical point.
