Band Engineering of Thermoelectric Materials

Advanced Materials, 2012
AbstractLead chalcogenides have long been used for space‐based and thermoelectric remote power generation applications, but recent discoveries have revealed a much greater potential for these materials. This renaissance of interest combined with the need for increased energy efficiency has led to active consideration of thermoelectrics for practical ...

Nanostructured materials for thermoelectric applications

Chemical Communications, 2010
Recent studies indicate that nanostructuring can be an effective method for increasing the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in materials. Most of the enhancement in ZT can be attributed to large reductions in the lattice thermal conductivity due to increased phonon scattering at interfaces. Although significant gains have been reported,

Carrier Mapping in Thermoelectric Materials

MRS Proceedings, 2013
ABSTRACTThe application of micro-fourier transform infrared (FTIR) mapping analysis to thermoelectric materials towards identification of doping inhomogeneities is described. Micro-FTIR, in conjunction with fitting, is used as analytical tool for probing carrier content gradients.

Materials for thermoelectric refrigeration

Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, 1959
Abstract The electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity were measured on Bi2Te3 and the alloy systems (Bi,Sb)2Te3, Bi2(Te,Se)2 and (Bi2Sb)2(Te,Se)3. Criteria determining the optimum properties of the materials for thermoelectric refrigeration are discussed.

Thermoelectric Cooling Through Thermoelectric Materials

2010
Thermoelectric (TE) cooling has been used for thermal management of high-power-dissipating electrical components, with silent, compact, reliable, and durable characteristics and being modulated to maintain a fixed temperature. However, TE coolers currently in use have a coefficient of performance (COP) of only about 0.5.
