Exploration and Optimization of Tellurium-Based Thermoelectrics: Property enhancements through heavy p-block inclusions and complex bonding.
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-23)Thermoelectric materials are the only known materials capable of direct conversion of a heat gradient into electricity (Seebeck effect) or vice-versa (Peltier effect). Thermoelectric (TE) devices are comprised of solid-state ... -
Optimization of Thermoelectric Chalcogenides
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-23)Thermoelectric (TE) materials can convert heat into electricity when a temperature gradient is applied (Seebeck effect), and can pump heat from the cold end to the hot end using electricity (Peltier effect). These materials ... -
Optimization of Tin Selenide Thermoelectric Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-27)The high performance thermoelectric material tin selenide is of notable interest to the field of thermoelectric materials; since breaking the record for being the most efficient thermoelectric material due to the ultralow ...
