Thermoelectrical potential and derivation of Kelvin relation for thermoelectric materials [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Current research on thermoelectricity is primarily focused on the exploration of materials with enhanced performance, resulting in a lack of fundamental understanding of the thermoelectric effect. Such circumstance is not conducive to the further improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric conversion.

High Thermoelectric Performance in Low‐Cost Cu8SiSxSe6‐x Argyrodite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study discovers the great potential of Cu8SiSxSe6‐x argyrodites as new, low‐cost, Te‐free thermoelectric materials. The proposed defect scheme suppresses the phase transition, enhances the weighted mobility and optimizes the grain boundary contacts.

Large-scale Ocean-based or Geothermal Power Plants by Thermoelectric Effects [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
Heat resources of small temperature difference are easily accessible, free and unlimited on earth. Thermoelectric effects provide the technology for converting these heat resources directly into electricity. We present designs of electricity generators based on thermoelectric effects and using heat resources of small temperature difference, e.g., ocean

Supercompliant Lattice Boosts n‐type AgSbTe2 Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The supercompliant lattice design enables the first realization of n‐type electrical transport in AgSbTe2 by overcoming intrinsic electron‐killer defects and exceeding the doping limits imposed by the conventional Hume–Rothery rule. Accordingly, the best performance n‐type Ag0.8Na0.3Sb0.6Bi0.4Te2 sample achieves a low κ of 0.27 W·m−1·K−1 that ...

Nonlinear thermoelectric effects in high-field superconductor-ferromagnet tunnel junctions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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 quite small in metal structures, and vanishes at low temperatures.
