  • Novel nanocomposite synthesis for high-performance thermoelectrics

    Creator:
    Eilertsen, James S.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric materials are playing a larger role in the global effort to develop diverse, efficient, and sustainable energy technologies: primarily through power-generating thermoelectric modules. The principal components of thermoelectric modules are solid-state thermoelectric materials – typically heavily doped semiconductors – that convert heat directly into electricity. However, this conversion efficiency...
