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 …

Energy harvesting with thermoelectric materials has been investigated with increasing
attention over recent decades. However, the vast number of various material classes makes …

Skutterudites CoSb3 with multiple cofillers Ba, La, and Yb were synthesized and very high
thermoelectric figure of merit ZT= 1.7 at 850 K was realized. X-ray diffraction of the densified …

As half-Heusler compounds are promising candidates for environmentally friendly and low-
cost thermoelectric materials, not only a high figure of merit and efficiency are necessary but …

The influence of various fillers R (R= Sr, La, Mm, DD, SrMm, SrDD with Mm standing for
mischmetal and DD for didymium) on the physical properties of the triple-and multifilled n …

In this paper we maximize the thermoelectric (TE) figure of merit, ZT, of n-type
skutterudites,(In, Sr, Ba, Yb) y Co 4 Sb 12, via three different routes:(i) find the optimum …

Reduced dimensionality has long been regarded as an important strategy for increasing
thermoelectric performance, for example, in superlattices and other engineered structures …

Within the last decade, novel materials concepts and nanotechnology have resulted in a
great increase of the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials. Despite this, a mass …

The best p-type skutterudites so far are didymium filled, Fe/Co substituted, Sb-based
skutterudites. Substitution at the Sb-sites influences the electronic structure, deforms the Sb …

Skutterudites are among the most exciting thermoelectric (TE) materials that could be used
for various intermediate temperature applications. This study summarized our recent work …
