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 …

Thermoelectric energy conversion technology to convert waste heat into electricity has
received much attention. In addition, metal oxides have recently been considered as …

Ten years ago, DM Rowe introduced the bestselling CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics to
wide acclaim. Since then, increasing environmental concerns, desire for long-life electrical …

Single crystals of (Ca 2 CoO 3) 0.7 CoO 2 were grown using a modified strontium chloride
flux technique, and their electrical and thermal properties were determined. Growth …

Metal oxides (Ca3Co4O9, CaMnO3, SrTiO3, In2O3), Ti sulfides, and Mn silicides are
promising thermoelectric (TE) material candidates for cascade‐type modules that are usable …

Layered CoO2 materials are excellent candidates for potential thermoelectric applications.
Their single crystals show good p-type thermoelectric properties at temperatures higher than …

We measure the high-temperature thermoelectric properties of the Na x CoO 2-δ single
crystal for the first time. The Na x CoO 2-δ single crystals are prepared by a flux technique …

A temperature gradient across a solid (except superconducting materials) generates an
electrical voltage between the hot and cold ends. This phenomenon, discovered in 1821 …

We have determined the crystal structure of the composite crystal [Ca2CoO3] 0: 62CoO2,
known as Ca3Co4O9, by a superspace group approach. Structural parameters were refined …

Bi2Sr2Co2Oy BC-222 whiskers were grown with an excellent Seebeck coefficient S and
electrical resistivity for power generation applications at high temperatures in air. The S …
