The long-standing popularity of thermoelectric materials has contributed to the creation of
various thermoelectric devices and stimulated the development of strategies to improve their …

Driven by the intensive efforts in the development of high‐performance GeTe
thermoelectrics for mass‐market application in power generation and refrigeration, GeTe …

Thermoelectric materials generate electric energy from waste heat, with conversion
efficiency governed by the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT. Single-crystal tin selenide …

Thermoelectric materials transfer heat and electrical energy, hence they are useful for power
generation or cooling applications. Many of these materials have narrow bandgaps …

Although Ga doping can weaken the electron phonon coupling in n-type PbTe, Ga-doped
PbTe has a relatively low carrier concentration (n) and high lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) …

Bismuth telluride is the working material for most Peltier cooling devices and thermoelectric
generators. This is because Bi2Te3 (or more precisely its alloys with Sb2Te3 for p‐type and …

As the core component of any real thermoelectric cooling system, the Bi 2 Te 3-based
modules have been used for decades. Recently, n-type Mg 3 (Bi, Sb) 2 material was …

BACKGROUND Heat and electricity are two forms of energy that are at opposite ends of a
spectrum. Heat is ubiquitous, but with low quality, whereas electricity is versatile, but its …

Although GeTe has been known as thermoelectrics since 1960s, it has attracted intensive
renewed attention recently. GeTe undergoes a phase transition from a high-T cubic (c-GeTe) …

The past two decades have witnessed the rapid growth of thermoelectric (TE) research.
Novel concepts and paradigms are described here that have emerged, targeting superior TE …
