Typical 18-electron half-Heusler compounds, ZrNiSn and NbFeSb, are identified as promising high-temperature thermoelectric materials. NbCoSb with nominal 19 valence electrons, which is supposed to be metallic, is recently reported to also exhibit thermoelectric properties of a heavily doped n-type semiconductor. Here for the first time, it is experimentally demonstrated that the nominal 19-electron NbCoSb is actually the composite of 18-electron Nb0.8+delta CoSb (0
