Asymmetrical Transport Distribution Function: Skewness as a Key to Enhance Thermoelectric Performance

open access: yesResearch, 2022
How to achieve high thermoelectric figure of merit is still a scientific challenge. By solving the Boltzmann transport equation, thermoelectric properties can be written as integrals of a single function, the transport distribution function (TDF).

Fabrication of Skutterudite-Based Tubular Thermoelectric Generator

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The conversion efficiency of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) is adversely affected by the quality of thermal contact between the module and the heat source. TEGs with the planar substrate are not suitable for the curved heat sources.

Thermoelectrics

open access: yesMaterials Today, 2016
Metallic Ag microsphere in a ceramic matrix Thermoelectricity is the direct solid-state conversion between thermal and electrical energy, without any moving parts, due to the well-known Seebeck effect. Currently, more than half of the energy produced ends up in the form of wasted heat: thermoelectric harvesting and energy conversion constitutes an ...

Improved Thermoelectric Cooling Based on the Thomson Effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Traditional thermoelectric Peltier coolers exhibit a cooling limit which is primarily determined by the figure of merit, zT. Rather than a fundamental thermodynamic limit, this bound can be traced to the difficulty of maintaining thermoelectric ...

Opto-thermoelectric microswimmers [PDF]

open access: yesLight: Science & Applications, 2020
AbstractInspired by the “run-and-tumble” behaviours of Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells, we develop opto-thermoelectric microswimmers. The microswimmers are based on dielectric-Au Janus particles driven by a self-sustained electrical field that arises from the asymmetric optothermal response of the particles. Upon illumination by a defocused laser beam,
