Thermoelectric cooling materials [PDF]

Nature Materials, 2020
Solid-state thermoelectric devices can directly convert electricity into cooling or enable heat pumping through the Peltier effect. The commercialization of thermoelectric cooling technology has been built on the Bi2Te3 alloys, which have had no rival for the past six decades around room temperature. With the discovery and development of more promising

Tunable quantum gaps to decouple carrier and phonon transport leading to high-performance thermoelectrics

Nature Communications, 2022
Defects are believed to always scatter carriers. Here, the authors find that the quantum gaps in GeTe-based materials do not scatter carriers, which decouple the carriers and phonons transport leading to high thermoelectric performance.
