Thermoelectrics, enabling the direct energy conversion between electricity and heat, provide
alternatives for conventional power generation and refrigeration with considerable …

Thermoelectric (TE) materials facilitate direct heat-to-electricity conversion. The performance
of a TE material is characterised by its figure of merit zT (= S 2 σT/κ) that depends on both …

This paper presents tables of key thermoelectric properties, which define thermoelectric
conversion efficiency, for a wide range of inorganic materials. The twelve families of …

Thermoelectrics converting heat and electricity directly attract broad attentions. To enhance
the thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, one of the key points is to decouple the carrier-phonon …

Thermoelectric energy conversion can be used to capture electric power from waste heat in
a variety of applications. The materials that have been shown to have the best thermoelectric …

We present an overview and preliminary analysis of computed thermoelectric properties for
more than 48 000 inorganic compounds from the Materials Project (MP). We compare our …

We report the synthesis of Methylammonium Lead Iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) nanowires by a
low temperature solution processed crystallization using a simple slip-coating method. The …

Thermoelectric power generation technology is now expected to help overcome global
warming and climate change issues by recovering and converting waste heat into electricity …

Most state-of-the-art thermoelectric (TE) materials contain heavy elements Bi, Pb, Sb, or Te
and exhibit maximum figure of merit, ZT∼ 1–2. On the other hand, oxides were believed to …

Energy harvesting with thermoelectric materials has been investigated with increasing
attention over recent decades. However, the vast number of various material classes makes …
