Revisiting some chalcogenides for thermoelectricity
Thermoelectric materials that are efficient well above ambient temperature are needed to convert waste-heat into electricity. Many thermoelectric oxides were investigated for this purpose, but their power factor (PF) values were too small (~10−4 W m−1 K−2) to yield a satisfactory figure of merit zT....
