On the inherent figure of thermoelectric composites [PDF]
The paper introduces and analyzes a new characteristic of thermoelectric composites - their intrinsic figure of merit characterizing the influence of thermoelectric phenomena on the effective properties of composites and governing thermal into electric energy conversion within a composite.

Using atomic structure and local stability information, recombinant aciniform spider silk proteins are rationally engineered to incorporate a chemically switchable disulfide bond to prevent fiber formation. When disulfide‐locked, these proteins cannot form continuous fibers, whereas the unlocked (reduced) state can.

Thermoelectric efficiency has three Degrees of Freedom
Thermal energy can be directly converted to electrical energy as a result of thermoelectric effects. Because this conversion realises clean energy technology, such as waste heat recovery and energy harvesting, substantial efforts have been made to search

Impact of Ni content on the thermoelectric properties of half-Heusler TiNiSn
From phase boundary mapping, we find that the thermoelectric TiNiSn half-Heusler phase shows a narrow solubility range on the Ti–Ni–Sn phase diagram primarily in the range of excess Ni that can be approximated as TiNi1+xSn, where x is temperature ...

Off‐centering of cations in pavonite‐structured Ag1.75InSb5.75Se11 (AISS) breaks crystal symmetry, inducing Rashba‐like band splitting and high band degeneracy, thus enhancing Seebeck coefficients. Soft bonds between off‐centered cations and Se atoms increase phonon scattering, achieving low lattice thermal conductivity (0.22 W m−1K−1 at 723 K). Doping

Enhancing high-temperature thermoelectric properties of PtAs2 by Rh doping
The effects of Rh doping on the thermoelectric properties of Pt1-xRhxAs2 (x = 0, 0.005, and 0.01) with pyrite structure were studied by conducting measurements of electrical resistivity rho, Seebeck coefficient S, and thermal conductivity kappa.

A Flexible Photovoltaic Fatigue Factor for Quantification of Mechanical Device Performance
The flexible Photovoltaic fatigue factor (F) quantifies mechanical and photovoltaic performance as a function of the power conversion efficiency (PCE), the strain (ε${\varepsilon}$), and the number of bending cycles (NBC) in bending tests. The strain depends on the bending radius (R) and the thicknesses of the substrate (ts) and the photovoltaic device
