Abstract The pillars of Green Chemistry necessitate the development of new chemical
methodologies and processes that can benefit chemical synthesis in terms of energy …

This review article gives an overview of the recent research directions in eco‐friendly, non‐
toxic, and earth‐abundant thermoelectric materials. It covers materials such as sulfides …

The ability of thermoelectric devices to convert waste heat into useful electrical power has
stimulated a remarkable growth in research into thermoelectric materials. There is, however …

We report a more than 30% increase in the thermoelectric figure of merit of Ni-doped
tetrahedrite (Cu12Sb4S13) by the addition of Zn. We show that this enhancement is due to …

Tetrahedrites are natural earth-abundant minerals consisting of environmentally-friendly
elements of copper and sulphur. Recently, research has been focused on the natural and …

We report thermoelectric (TE) properties of dense samples of colusites Cu 26 V 2 M 6 S 32
(M= Ge, Sn), most of which are composed of earth-abundant elements; Cu and S. The …

Synthetic minerals and related systems based on Cu–S are attractive thermoelectric (TE)
materials because of their environmentally benign characters and high figures of merit at …

Transition metal atom (Co) substituted synthetic tetrahedrite compounds Cu 12− x Co x Sb 4
S 13 (x= 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) were prepared by solid state synthesis. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) …

Tetrahedrites are promising p-type thermoelectric materials for energy recovery. We present
here the first investigation of the structure and thermoelectric properties of copper-rich …

Thermoelectric materials have a long and storied history in the research and development of
semiconductor materials, being the first such class of materials to be investigated …
