Thermoelectric properties of transition metal oxides and thallium main group chalcogenides

Thermoelectric energy (TE) conversion can be used to create electricity from temperature gradients. Hence power can be generated from waste heat using TE materials, e.g. from the exhaust in automotives. This power in turn may lead to a reduction of gas consumption by reducing the alternator load on...
