TL;DR: It is emphasized that a high power factor (PF) is equivalently important for high power generation, in addition to high efficiency, because power is determined by (Th − Tc)2(S2σ)/L, where Th, Tc, and L are the hot and cold side temperatures, and leg length, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Seebeck coefficient and power factor of n-type PbSe at temperatures below 600 K were investigated and it was found that the higher Seebeck coefficients and power factors are due to higher Hall mobility ≈1000 cm2 V−1s−1 at lower carrier concentration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the electronic properties of electron-doped (Sr1-xLax)2IrO4 is experimentally explored as the doping limit of La is approached.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface treatments remove chemicals or absorbed molecules on the surface of Bi2S3 particles, leading to a significant decrease or even elimination of barrier energy at grain boundaries and hence yield a higher power factor.
