Abstract	Cu-Fe-S-based compounds gain the interest from thermoelectric community because all the consisting elements, Cu, Fe, and S, are non-toxic and earth-abundant. Comparing with CuFeS2 and Cu5FeS4, the investigation on Cu9Fe9S16 is very rare. In this work, a series of Cu9-xFe9+xS16 samples were fabricated by means of melting-annealing process. Their phase composition, microstructure, electrical and thermal transport properties were systematically investigated. X-ray measurement confirms that all samples are phase pure. Transmission electron microscopy characterization indicates that the fabricated Cu9Fe9S16 has a natural nanostructure. Cu9Fe9S16 shows semiconducting-like electrical transport behavior and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity. Beyond the numerous boundaries between nanosized grains, the existence of low-frequency optical phonons is also responsible for the intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity. Doping Fe at the Cu-sites in Cu9Fe9S16 significantly alters the electrical transport properties by introducing extra carriers. A peak dimensionless figure of merit zT value of 0.21 is obtained at 800 K for pure Cu9Fe9S16, which is comparable with that for CuFeS2.
