Engineering Nanostructural Routes for Enhancing Thermoelectric Performance: Bulk to Nanoscale

Thermoelectricity is a very important phenomenon, especially its significance in heat-electricity conversion. If thermoelectric devices can be effectively applied to the recovery of the renewable energies, such as waste heat and solar energy, the energy shortage, and global warming issues may be greatly relieved. This review focusses recent developments on the thermoelectric performance of a lo...

Fuzzy VIKOR Optimization for Designing High Performance Hydroxyapatite/Polycaprolactone Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Engineering

High-performance shape-engineerable thermoelectric painting

Output power of thermoelectric generators depends on device engineering minimizing heat loss as well as inherent material properties. However, the device engineering has been largely neglected due to the limited flat or angular shape of devices. Considering that the surface of most heat sources where these planar devices are attached is curved, a considerable amount of heat loss is inevitable. ...
