Thermoelectric materials generate electric energy from waste heat, with conversion
efficiency governed by the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT. Single-crystal tin selenide …

Thermoelectric materials transfer heat and electrical energy, hence they are useful for power
generation or cooling applications. Many of these materials have narrow bandgaps …

Electronic band convergence can have a beneficial impact on thermoelectric performance,
but finding the right band-converged compositions is still time-consuming. We propose a …

Although Ga do** can weaken the electron phonon coupling in n-type PbTe, Ga-doped
PbTe has a relatively low carrier concentration (n) and high lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) …

P-type Bi2− x Sb x Te3 compounds are crucial for thermoelectric applications at room
temperature, with Bi0. 5Sb1. 5Te3 demonstrating superior performance, attributed to its …

Bismuth telluride is the working material for most Peltier cooling devices and thermoelectric
generators. This is because Bi2Te3 (or more precisely its alloys with Sb2Te3 for p‐type and …

Ambient energy harvesting has great potential to contribute to sustainable development and
address growing environmental challenges. Converting waste energy from energy-intensive …

BACKGROUND Heat and electricity are two forms of energy that are at opposite ends of a
spectrum. Heat is ubiquitous, but with low quality, whereas electricity is versatile, but its …
