We are witnessing an unprecedented expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) market, whose
nodes are already outnumbering human population several times. Despite the huge …

As a key type of emerging thermoelectric material, tin telluride (SnTe) has received
extensive attention because of its low toxicity and eco‐friendly nature. The recent trend …

The thermal conductivity of crystalline materials cannot be arbitrarily low, as the intrinsic limit
depends on the phonon dispersion. We used complementary strategies to suppress the …

Thermoelectric (TE) materials facilitate direct heat-to-electricity conversion. The performance
of a TE material is characterised by its figure of merit zT (= S 2 σT/κ) that depends on both …

Thermoelectric power generation (TEG) represents one of the cleanest methods of energy
conversion available today. It can be used in applications ranging from the harvesting of …

Thermoelectric research has witnessed groundbreaking progress over the past 15–20
years. The thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, a measure of the competition between …

The field of thermoelectrics has long been recognized as a potentially transformative power
generation technology and the field is now growing steadily due to their ability to convert …

Driven by the prospective applications of thermoelectric materials, massive efforts have
been dedicated to enhancing the conversion efficiency. The latter is governed by the figure …

In this work, we demonstrate the use of high performance nanostructured PbTe-based
materials in high conversion efficiency thermoelectric modules. We fabricated the samples of …

Herein we cover the key concepts in the field of thermoelectric materials research, present
the current understanding, and show the latest developments. Current research is aimed at …
