Criteria for power factor improvement in thermoelectric composite

Power factor enhancement in two-phase thermoelectric composites was investigated using a 2-2 slab model. The effective power factor of the composite can be greater than both components without any interfacial effects. To achieve power factor enhancement, one phase should have a higher electrical con...
