Adaptive Hybrid Energy Harvester Integrating PV, TEG, and Piezoelectric Sources With Real‐Time Power Management and Experimental Validation

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
An adaptive hybrid energy harvester combining photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and piezoelectric sources is experimentally demonstrated. Real‐time power management dynamically allocates and conditions multisource inputs, achieving improved robustness and efficiency under variable environmental conditions compared with single‐source harvesting.

The Question of Thermoelectric Devices Electrical Resistance—A Practical Investigation From a Peltier Effect (Thermoelectric Cooler/Thermoelectric Heater) Perspective

open access: yesHeat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermoelectric devices (TEDs) intrinsic electrical resistance is fundamental to its operation. This internal electrical resistance value negatively affects a TED's performance when it is operated as a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), and positively affects a TED when operated as a thermoelectric heater (TEH).

Designer Entropy Enables High Thermoelectric Power and Efficiency

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Designer Entropy enables targeted control of defect and transport behavior in SnTe‐based alloys, allowing efficiency and power to be independently optimized. Radius‐matched Sb doping preserves carrier mobility and delivers superior power output, while Bi‐induced disorder suppresses mobility despite comparable efficiency.

A Solventless Melt Route to Polymer/Mixed‐Metal Sulfide Nanocomposites: Case Study on NiCo2S4/PVP

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Solvent‐free thermolysis of metal (Ni, Co)‐ xanthate precursors in PVP enables the in situ formation of NiCo2S4 nanoparticles embedded within the polymer matrix. ABSTRACT Polymer‐inorganic nanocomposites are commonly prepared using solution‐based approaches that rely on solvents, often toxic or costly, and multi‐step processing, which can limit ...
