A record thermoelectric efficiency in tellurium-free modules for low-grade waste heat recovery [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Thermoelectric materials for low-grade heat recovery applications are limited to Bi2Te3-based alloys containing expensive Te for decades. Here, the authors demonstrate on a module level, cheap antimonides could enable an efficiency not inferior to that ...

Structural evolution in thermoelectric zinc antimonide thin films studied by in situ X-ray scattering techniques [PDF]
IUCrJ, 2021 Zinc antimonides have been widely studied owing to their outstanding thermoelectric properties. Unlike in the bulk state, where various structurally unknown phases have been identified through their specific physical properties, a number of intermediate ...
