New 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 کاملThermoelectric Materials: Principles, Structure, Properties, and Applications
During the 1990s there was a heightened interest in the field of thermoelectrics driven by the need for more efficient materials for electronic refrigeration and power generation (Nolas et al. 2002, Tritt et al. 2000a, Tritt et al. 1998, Tritt et al. 1997). Proposed industrial and military applications of thermoelectric (TE) materials are generating increased activity in this field by demanding...
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 کاملStructure-based design of functional amyloid materials.
Amyloid fibers, once exclusively associated with disease, are acquiring utility as a class of biological nanomaterials. Here we introduce a method that utilizes the atomic structures of amyloid peptides, to design materials with versatile applications. As a model application, we designed amyloid fibers capable of capturing carbon dioxide from flue gas, to address the global problem of excess an...
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...
