Thermal management and energy crisis have been two major problems in this 21st century.
The thermoelectric concept is seen as a perfect solution for the both issues provided its …

With the fast evolution in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (eg, CO 2, N 2 O) caused by
fossil fuel combustion and global warming, climate change has been identified as a critical …

As half-Heusler compounds are promising candidates for environmentally friendly and low-
cost thermoelectric materials, not only a high figure of merit and efficiency are necessary but …

The lattice constants of hydrogenated and deuterated CH 4-, CO 2-, Xe-(clathrate structure
type I) and N 2-hydrates (clathrate structure type II) from 10 K up to the stability limit were …

Research on thermoelectric materials–with their vast potential for applications in solid-state
cooling or energy-conversion devices–has so far mainly focused on enhancing their …

The influence of thermal interface resistance is an important design problem for the
optimisation of heat transfer systems. For thermoelectric generators (TEG), it can limit the …

Crystallographic, thermoelectric, and mechanical properties of polycrystalline Ba 8 Al 16 Si
30-based samples with type-I clathrate structure prepared by combining arc melting and …

The europium-containing clathrate-I Eu x Ba8–x Cu16P30 was synthesized from the
elements. Powder X-ray diffraction in combination with energy dispersive X-ray absorption …

Polycrystalline samples of the clathrate Ba 8 Au x Si 46− x were synthesized for 0.2⩽ x⩽ 10.
The homogeneity range of the type-I clathrate phase was determined to be 3.63⩽ x⩽ 6.10 …

The thermoelectric properties of the type-I clathrate Ba 8 Au x Si 46− x (4.10≤ x≤ 6.10)
were characterized from 300 to 700 K. Increasing the Au concentration leads to a transition …
