Bismuth telluride-based alloy materials are currently the best performing thermoelectric
materials at near room temperature; however, their production and use generate waste (eg …

High performance, high stretchability and high strength are the urgent demands for the
wearable thermoelectric generators. This paper proposes a novel idea of the stretchable …

Small-scale structures with limited defect inclusions are known to differ in their fracture
behavior compared to their bulk counterparts. In addition, materials at confined volumes …

This study demonstrates that bond strength can be enhanced by injecting excess electrons
or holes into a material by electron beam irradiation. To determine the effect of excess …

Van der Waals (vdW)-layered materials, such as graphite, exhibit unique mechanical
properties owing to their structural and mechanical anisotropies. This study reports the …
