Thermoelectric energy conversion is an all solid-state technology that relies on exceptional
semiconductor materials that are generally optimized through sophisticated strategies …

Low-grade heat (below 373 kelvin) is abundant and ubiquitous but is mostly wasted
because present recovery technologies are not cost-effective. The liquid-state thermocell …

There has been a renaissance of interest in exploring highly efficient thermoelectric
materials as a possible route to address the worldwide energy generation, utilization, and …

Thermoelectric materials are crucial in renewable energy conversion technologies to solve
the global energy crisis. They have been proven to be suitable for high-end technological …

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 …

Lead chalcogenides have long been used for space‐based and thermoelectric remote
power generation applications, but recent discoveries have revealed a much greater …
