In₄Se₃-based materials are noticeable n-type thermoelectric materials because of lead-free and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity, but the In₄Se_3-δ crystals (with Se-deficiency, δ) suffer strong anisotropy and cleavage habit. Thus the researches on polycrystalline In₄Se₃-based materials are of great importance. Herein, we experimentally and theoretically investigated the thermoelectric properties of In_4-xSe_2.95Ag_x polycrystalline compounds. Ag occupying the intercalation or In4 site is energetically most favorable in light of the density functional theory calculation. The maximum solubility of Ag (x_m) is very low (x_m<0.03) and the experimental result indicates that the electrical transport behavior of In_4-xSe_2.95Ag_x compounds is not significantly optimized by Ag-dopant. Consequently, a maximum ZT of 0.92 at 723 K is obtained by In_3.98Se_2.95Ag_0.02 compound that represents 15% enhancement over that of the un-doped one which benefits from the slightly enhanced power factor and the reduced total thermal conductivity.
