Incorporating trace amounts of Cu atoms into n-type Bi2(Te, Se)3 simultaneously realizes lattice plainification and band ...

"Traditional thermoelectric devices consist of p- and ... the thermal conductivity of Cu 2 Se and consequently enhanced the ...

Thermoelectric performance is usually quoted in terms of a figure of merit, ZT, which is proportional to the operating temperature, the electrical conductivity and the square of the Seebeck ...

[Figure b] illustrates the thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) as a function of heat treatment temperature, showing an increase to 2.0 when treated at 1233 K. [Figure c] displays the power ...

Also plotted is the estimated efficiency of a thermoelectric converter. Note that the efficiency has been estimated from ZT using a simplified but optimistic method. The assumptions tend to ...

“The performance of thermoelectric devices is gauged by the dimensionless figure of merit ZT. Improving ZT has proven to be a formidable challenge given the interdependence of its constitutive ...

Now, a study demonstrates how to convert exhaust heat into electricity. The researchers present a prototype thermoelectric generator system that could reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide ...
