Abstract The polycrystalline Ba$_{9}$Zr$_{2.79}$Te$_{15}$ sample was prepared by employing a solid-state synthesis method under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Comprehensive characterizations of structural and electrical properties were performed. Ba$_{9}$Zr$_{2.79}$Te$_{15}$ crystallizes in a hexagonal lattice with the space group $P\bar{6}c$2 (No. 188) and lattice parameters $a = 10.1977(8)$ Å and $c = 20.2646(9)$ Å. It is mainly composed of face-sharing ZrTe$_{6}$ octahedral chains extending along the $c$-axis, which form a triangular lattice in the ab plane. The Te chains are located in the middle of the ZrTe$_{6}$ triangular lattice. Electrical transport measurements indicate that Ba$_{9}$Zr$_{2.79}$Te$_{15}$ is a semiconductor. The thermal activation band gap of 0.23 eV is qualitatively discussed when compared with that of its sister compound Ba$_{9}$Zr$_{3}$Se$_{15}$, proving that the p electrons in the Te chains, with high quantum number orbitals, dominate electron conduction. Furthermore, the Debye temperature of Ba$_{9}$Zr$_{2.79}$Te$_{15}$ is calculated to be 157.28(9) K from thermodynamic measurements. The newly synthesized Ba$_{9}$Zr$_{2.79}$Te$_{15}$ with quasi-one-dimensional chain characteristics provides an opportunity for further exploration of diverse physical properties.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
