Pb-based group-IV chalcogenides including PbTe and PbSe have been extensively studied as high performance ther-moelectric materials during the past few decades. However, the toxicity of Pb inhibits their applications in vast fields due to the serious harm to the environment. Recently the Pb-free group-IV chalcogenides have become an extensive research subject as promising thermoelectric materials because of their unique thermal and electronic transport properties as well as the enviromentally friendly advantage. This paper briefly summarizes the recent research advances in Sn-, Ge-, and Si-chalcogenides thermoelectrics, showing the unexceptionally high thermoelectric performance in SnSe single crystal, and the significant improvement in thermoelectric performance for those polycrystalline materials by successfully modulating the electronic and thermal transport through using some well-developed strategies including band engineering, nanostruc-turing and defect engineering. In addition, some important issues for future device applications, including N-type doping and mechanical and chemical stabilities of the new thermoelectrics, are also discussed.
