Thermoelectric Properties of Functionalized Graphene Grain Boundaries
Thermoelectric effect enables direct conversion between thermal and electrical energy and provides an alternative route for power generation and refrigeration. Hereby it is important to find materials with a high thermoelectric performance. In this sense, in the present work, we study the behavior of the thermoelectric properties of functionalized graphene grain boundaries by employing non-equi...
متن کاملEnhanced Thermoelectric Properties of Graphene/Cu2SnSe3 Composites
Cu2SnSe3 material is regarded as a potential thermoelectric material due to its relatively high carrier mobility and low thermal conductivity. In this study, graphene was introduced into the Cu2SnSe3 powder by ball milling, and the bulk graphene/Cu2SnSe3 thermoelectric composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering. The graphene nanosheets distributed uniformly in the Cu2SnSe3 matrix. Meanw...
متن کاملEnhancing the thermoelectric figure of merit in engineered graphene nanoribbons
We demonstrate that thermoelectric properties of graphene nanoribbons can be dramatically improved by introducing nanopores. In monolayer graphene, this increases the electronic thermoelectric figure of merit ZT e from 0.01 to 0.5. The largest values of ZT e are found when a nanopore is introduced into bilayer graphene, such that the current flows from one layer to the other via the inner surfa...
متن کاملElectrostatically confined quantum rings in bilayer graphene.
We propose a new system where electron and hole states are electrostatically confined into a quantum ring in bilayer graphene. These structures can be created by tuning the gap of the graphene bilayer using nanostructured gates or by position-dependent doping. The energy levels have a magnetic field (B(0)) dependence that is strikingly distinct from that of usual semiconductor quantum rings. In...
متن کاملQuantum Simulation of Nanocrystalline Composite Thermoelectric Properties
For the past few years, nanoscale structures have been proposed and investigated experimentally for their enhanced thermoelectric properties over bulk materials. These structures offer several advantages: 1) increased local density of states, which can improve the Seebeck coefficient and 2) reduced thermal transport due to phonon confinement and increased scattering. Recently, nanocrystalline c...
