3D charge and 2D phonon transports leading to high out-of-plane <i>ZT</i> in n-type SnSe crystals
SnSe doped a different way Heat can be converted into electricity by thermoelectric materials. Such materials are promising for use in solid-state cooling devices. A challenge f...
New Directions for Low‐Dimensional Thermoelectric Materials
Abstract Many of the recent advances in enhancing the thermoelectric figure of merit are linked to nanoscale phenomena found both in bulk samples containing nanoscale constituen...
High-Thermoelectric Performance of Nanostructured Bismuth Antimony Telluride Bulk Alloys
The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in bismuth antimony telluride (BiSbTe) bulk alloys has remained around 1 for more than 50 years. We show that a peak ZT of ...
First principles study of thermal conductivity cross-over in nanostructured zinc-chalcogenides
Systematic first principles studies of zinc-chalcogenides have been performed to understand their thermal transport behaviour. We have applied the Boltzmann transport equation i...
A Comprehensive Review of Thermal Energy Storage
Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating ...
