Decades of studies on thermoelectric materials have enabled the design of high‐performance materials based on basic materials properties, such as bandgap engineering. In general, bandgap energies correspond to the temperature at which the peak thermoelectric performance occurs. For instance, CuGaTe2 with a relatively wide bandgap of 1.2 eV has its peak zT > 1 at > 900 K. On the other hand, the zT is usually very low (
