Methods of Thermoelectric Enhancement in Silicon-Germanium Alloy Type I Clathrates and in Nanostructured Lead Chalcogenides
The rapid increase in thermoelectric (TE) materials R&D is a consequence of the growing need to increase energy efficiency and independence through waste heat recovery. TE materials enable the direct solid-state conversion of heat into electricity, with little maintenance, noise, or cost. In add...
