  "description": "<p>Tetrahedrite-based compounds are considered a promising thermoelectric material. The tetrahedrite-tennantite series, that can be generically expressed as Cu<sub>6</sub>[Cu<sub>4</sub>(Fe,Zn)<sub>2</sub>](Sb,As)<sub>4</sub>S<sub>13</sub>, is one of the most abundant sulfosalt minerals in the earth&rsquo;s crust. The Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB), located in southern Portugal and Spain, is the host of the largest concentration of massive sulfide deposits worldwide, where the tetrahedrite-tennantite series mineral is one of the constituents. In this work we evaluate the effectiveness of combining synthetic tetrahedrite (ST) with tetrahedrite-tennantite ore samples (TTOS) in the mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) process of tetrahedrite-based compounds. The ore samples were collected from two distinct deposits within the Portuguese part of the IPB, the Neves Corvo mine and the abandoned Barrig&atilde;o copper mine. The ST, also produced by MCS, were mixed with the TTOS in different mass ratios ranging from 20-80%. The influence of the chemical composition and phase constitution of the ore samples and of the mixing ratios will be presented in relation to the micro-structural properties of the obtained materials. The results here described are part of a broader study dedicated to the development of energy-harvesting applications based on tetrahedrite. This work is funded by national funds through the FCT &ndash; Funda&ccedil;&atilde;o para a Ci&ecirc;ncia e a Tecnologia, I.P., under the project PTDC/EAM-PEC/29905/2017 (LocalEnergy project, http://localenergy.lneg.pt).</p>",
