Thermoelectric materials

Mixing tin into germanium telluride creates a high-performance thermoelectric material that could make energy harvesting or cooling devices more effective.

Natural imperfections trigger a Kondo effect in 2D materials that bring their thermoelectric performance to new heights.

With a sound understanding of polymers, their properties and the methods to synthesize them, scientists can create novel materials for a wide range of practical applications.

Four organic thermoelectric polymers identified using theoretical calculations could prove valuable for harvesting energy from waste heat

If thermoelectric materials can convert low-grade heat into electricity, we may never need to charge wearable technology at home again.
