Zintl phases for thermoelectric devices [PDF]
Dalton Transactions, 2007 By converting waste heat into electricity and improving the efficiency of refrigeration systems, thermoelectric devices could play a significant role in solving today's energy problems. Increasing the thermoelectric efficiency (as measured by the thermoelectric material's figure-of-merit, zT) is critical to the development of this technology.

Printable Thermoelectric Device
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019 Abstract We have fabricated a printed flexible thermoelectric generator using composite of Bi2Te3 and PEDOT:PSS. The nano-structured thermoelectric thin film was made by printing method and the paste for printing was prepared by mixing nano-particles of Bi2Te3, PEDOT:PSS and polyamic acid as a additives.

Elasto-thermoelectric beam formulation for modeling thermoelectric devices [PDF]
Finite Elements in Analysis and Design, 2017 The present paper provides a dynamic, non-linear and fully coupled Finite Element (FE) formulation based on the Timoshenko beam theory to study elasto-thermoelectric responses in thermoelectric devices. The two main motivations of this work are: i) to study mechanical responses in thermoelectric devices, which must be taken into account in

From Thermal Rectifiers to Thermoelectric Devices [PDF]
, 2016 We discuss thermal rectification and thermoelectric energy conversion from the perspective of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and dynamical systems theory. After preliminary considerations on the dynamical foundations of the phenomenological Fourier law in classical and quantum mechanics, we illustrate ways to control the phononic heat flow and ...
