3D Printing for Energy Applications, 2021 Thermoelectrics (TEs) are materials that convert heat to electricity via the Seebeck effect. This unique ability of TEs is dependent upon electronic and thermal properties. The dimensionless figure of merit (zT) is used to quantify TE performance, and is

Nature Communications, 2022 Thermoelectrics enable direct heat-to-electricity transformation, but their performance has so far been restricted by the closely coupled carrier and phonon transport. Here, we demonstrate that the quantum gaps, a class of planar defects characterized by

The best thermoelectric. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 What electronic structure provides the largest figure of merit for thermoelectric materials? To answer that question, we write the electrical conductivity, thermopower, and thermal conductivity as integrals of a single function, the transport distribution.

Structural Evolution from Neutron Powder Diffraction of Nanostructured SnTe Obtained by Arc Melting
Crystals, 2022 Among chalcogenide thermoelectric materials, SnTe is an excellent candidate for intermediate temperature applications, in replacement of toxic PbTe. We have prepared pure polycrystalline SnTe by arc melting, and investigated the structural evolution by ...

Recent advances on thermoelectric materials [PDF]
J.-C. Zheng, Front. Phys. China, 2008, 3(3): 269-279, 2011 By converting waste heat into electricity through the thermoelectric power of solids without producing greenhouse gas emissions, thermoelectric generators could be an important part of the solution to today's energy challenge. There has been a resurgence in the search for new materials for advanced thermoelectric energy conversion applications. In this

Thermoelectric properties of in-plane $90^0$-bent graphene nanoribbons with nanopores [PDF]
, 2021 We study the thermoelectric performance of $90^0$-bent graphene nanoribbons containing nanopores for optimized design of multiple functional circuits including thermoelectric generators. We show that the thermal conductance of the $90^0$-bent ribbons is lower from few times to an order of magnitude compared to that of pristine armchair and zigzag ...
