Chemical composition tuning in quaternary p-type Pb-chalcogenides--a promising strategy for enhanced thermoelectric performance.
Recently a significant improvement in the thermoelectric performance of p-type ternary PbTe-PbSe and PbTe-PbS systems has been realized through alternating the electronic band structure and introducing nano-scale precipitates to bulk materials respectively. However, the quaternary system of PbTe-PbSe-PbS has received less attention. In the current work, we have excluded phase complexity by fabr...
متن کاملRecent progress in thermoelectric materials
Direct conversion of heat into electricity through advanced thermoelectric (TE) materials has been one of the most attractive solutions to the severe environmental and energy issues facing humanity. In recent years, great progress has been made in improving their dimensionless figure of merit (ZT), which determines the conversion efficiency of TE devices. ZT is related to three “interlocked” fa...
متن کاملRecent Progress on PEDOT-Based Thermoelectric Materials
The thermoelectric properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-based materials have attracted attention recently because of their remarkable electrical conductivity, power factor, and figure of merit. In this review, we summarize recent efforts toward improving the thermoelectric properties of PEDOT-based materials. We also discuss thermoelectric measurement techniques and several un...
متن کاملZnGeSb2: a promising thermoelectric material with tunable ultra-high conductivity.
First principles calculations predict the promising thermoelectric material ZnGeSb2 with a huge power factor (S2σ/τ) on the order of 3 × 1017 W m-1 K-2 s-1, due to the ultra-high electrical conductivity scaled by a relaxation time of around 8.5 × 1025 Ω-1 m-1 s-1, observed in its massive Dirac state. The observed electrical conductivity is higher than the well-established Dirac materials, and i...
متن کاملQuaternary pollen analysis: recent progress in palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology
During the last decade Quaternary pollen analysis has developed towards improved pollen-taxonomical precision, automated pollen identification and more rigorous definition of pollen assemblage zones. There have been significant efforts to model the spatial representation of pollen records in lake sediments which is important for more precise interpretation of the pollen records in terms of past...
