Ionic thermoelectric materials and devices [PDF]
Journal of Energy Chemistry (2021), 2021 The tremendous amount of wasted heat from solar radiation and industry dissipation has motivated the development of thermoelectric concepts that directly convert heat into electricity. The main challenge in practical applications for thermoelectrics is the high cost from both materials and manufacturing.

Recent advances on thermoelectric materials [PDF]
J.-C. Zheng, Front. Phys. China, 2008, 3(3): 269-279, 2011 By converting waste heat into electricity through the thermoelectric power of solids without producing greenhouse gas emissions, thermoelectric generators could be an important part of the solution to today's energy challenge. There has been a resurgence in the search for new materials for advanced thermoelectric energy conversion applications. In this

Thermoelectric properties of in-plane $90^0$-bent graphene nanoribbons with nanopores [PDF]
, 2021 We study the thermoelectric performance of $90^0$-bent graphene nanoribbons containing nanopores for optimized design of multiple functional circuits including thermoelectric generators. We show that the thermal conductance of the $90^0$-bent ribbons is lower from few times to an order of magnitude compared to that of pristine armchair and zigzag ...

Thermoelectric degrees of freedom determining thermoelectric efficiency [PDF]
iScience 24, 102934 (2021), 2018 Thermal energy can be directly converted to electrical energy as a result of thermoelectric effects. Because this conversion realises clean energy technology, such as waste heat recovery and energy harvesting, substantial efforts have been made to search for thermoelectric materials.

Driving Perpendicular Heat Flow: Ambipolar Transverse Thermoelectrics for Microscale and Cryogenic Peltier Cooling [PDF]
, 2013 Whereas thermoelectric performance is normally limited by the figure of merit ZT, transverse thermoelectrics can achieve arbitrarily large temperature differences in a single leg even with inferior ZT by being geometrically tapered. We introduce a band-engineered transverse thermoelectric with p-type Seebeck in one direction and n-type orthogonal ...

High three dimensional thermoelectric performance from low dimensional bands [PDF]
, 2012 Reduced dimensionality has long been regarded as an important strategy for increasing thermoelectric performance, for example in superlattices and other engineered structures. Here we point out and illustrate by examples that three dimensional bulk materials can be made to behave as if they were two dimensional from the point of view of thermoelectric ...

Recent progress in thermoelectric MXene-based structures versus other 2D materials [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Thermoelectricity is a next-generation solution for efficient waste heat management. Although various thermoelectric materials exist, there is still a lot of scope for advancement, especially in room temperature applications. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials, including MXenes, showed promise as thermoelectric materials.
