Abstract: Due to the fact that much of the world's best solar resources are inversely correlated with population centers, significant motivation exists for developing technology which can deliver reliable and autonomous conversion of sunlight into electricity. Thermoelectric generators are gaining incremental ground in this area since they do not require moving parts and work well in remote locations. Thermoelectric materials have been extensively used in space satellites, automobiles, and, more recently, in solar thermal applications as power generators, known as solar thermoelectric generators (STEG). STEG systems are gaining significant interest in both concentrated and non-concentrated systems and have been employed in hybrid configurations with solar thermal and photovoltaic systems. In this article, the key developments in the field of thermoelectric materials and on-going research work on STEG design conducted by various researchers to date are critically reviewed. Finally, we highlight the strategic research directions being undertaken to make highly efficient thermoelectric materials for developing a cost-effective STEG system, which could serve to bring this technology towards commercial readiness.

Abstract: Surface functionalization of nano-magnetic nanoparticles is a well-designed way to bridge the gap between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. The introduction of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in a variety of solid matrices allows the combination of well-known procedures for catalyst heterogenization with techniques for magnetic separation. Magnetite is a well-known material, also known as ferrite (Fe3O4), and can be used as a versatile support for functionalization of metals, organocatalysts, N-heterocyclic carbenes, and chiral catalysts. It is used as a support for important homogeneous catalytically active metals such as Pd, Pt, Cu, Ni, Co, Ir, etc. to obtain stable and magnetically recyclable heterogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous organocatalysts can be successfully decorated with linkers/ligands on the surface of magnetite or alternatively the organocatalysts can be directly immobilized on the surface of magnetite. The functionalized magnetically retrievable catalysts or nanocatalysts that are increasingly being used in catalysis, green chemistry and pharmaceutically significant reactions are summarized in this review.
