Advanced Materials, 2022 AbstractThe looming impact of climate change and the diminishing supply of fossil fuels both highlight the need for a transition to more sustainable energy sources. While solar and wind can produce much of the energy needed, to meet all our energy demands there is a need for a diverse sustainable energy generation mix.

Thermoelectric degrees of freedom determining thermoelectric efficiency [PDF]
iScience, 2021 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.

Thermoelectric characterization of flexible micro-thermoelectric generators [PDF]
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2017 A new experimental setup for the characterization of flexible micro-thermoelectric generators is reported. The system can measure the power generated and the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of devices under mechanical stresses and deformations, in atmospheric environment and under vacuum, in the temperature interval 293 K–423 K, as a function of ...

Reversible Thermoelectric Nanomaterials
Physical Review Letters, 2005 Irreversible effects in thermoelectric materials limit their efficiency and economy for applications in power generation and refrigeration. While electron transport is unavoidably irreversible in bulk materials, here we derive conditions under which reversible diffusive electron transport can be achieved in nanostructured thermoelectric materials via ...

Nonlinear thermoelectric effects in high-field superconductor-ferromagnet tunnel junctions [PDF]
, 2016 Thermoelectric effects result from the coupling of charge and heat transport, and can be used for thermometry, cooling and harvesting of thermal energy. The microscopic origin of thermoelectric effects is a broken electron-hole symmetry, which is usually

Enhanced thermoelectric properties of AgSbTe2 obtained by controlling heterophases with Ce doping
Scientific Reports, 2017 We report the enhanced thermoelectric properties of Ce-doped AgSbTe2 (AgSb1−xCexTe2) compounds. As the Ce contents increased, the proportion of heterophase Ag2Te in the AgSbTe2 gradually decreased, along with the size of the crystals.
