Few-quintuple Bi2Te3 nanofilms as potential thermoelectric materials
The thermoelectric transport properties of p-type Bi₂Te₃ nanofilms with various quintuple layers (QL) were systematically investigated based on ab initio electronic structure calculations and Boltzmann transport equations. Our results demonstrated that p-type few-quintuple Bi₂Te₃ nanofilms could exhibit high thermoelectric performance. It was found out that the 1QL Bi₂Te₃ nanofilm had the highe...
متن کاملNew Thermoelectric Materials and New Applications
Thermoelectricity in general is of strong scientific and technological interest due to its application possibilities ranging from clean energy to photon sensing devices. Recent developments in theoretical studies on t he thermoelectric effects, as well as the newly discovered thermoelectric materials provide new opportunities for wide applications. One type of these materials is based on the st...
متن کاملNew Directions for Low-Dimensional Thermoelectric Materials
Providing a sustainable supply of energy to the world’s population will become a major societal problem for the 21st century as fossil fuel supplies decrease and world demand increases. Thermoelectric phenomena, which involve the conversion between thermal and electrical energy, and provide a method for heating and cooling materials, are expected to play an increasingly important role in meetin...
متن کاملThermoelectric properties of conducting polymers
According to different sources, from forty to sixty percent of the overall energy generated in the world today is squandered in waste heat. The existing energy conversion technologies are either close to their efficiency limits or too costly to justify their implementation. Therefore, the development of new technological approaches for waste heat recovery is highly demanded. The field of thermo...
متن کاملPorous Thermoelectric Materials
Thermoelectric materials are sometimes prepared using a sintering process in which the achievement of a high density is often one of the objectives. However, it has recently been shown that the introduction of a highly porous material is desirable in synthetic transverse thermoelements. Porosity may also be an advantage in conventional longitudinal thermoelectric modules in which a high thermal...
