Journal ArticleDOI
High-performance nanostructured thermoelectric materials
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes the progress that has been made in recent years in developing thermoelectric materials with a high dimensionless figure of merits (ZT) and the related fabrication processes for producing nanostuctured materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in thermoelectric nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) plays a key role in the conversion efficiency from thermal to electrical energy, which has been used in power supply of aeronautic and astronautic exploring missions, now showing notable advantages to harvest the widely distributed waste heat and convert the abundant solar energy into electricity at lower cost than Si-based photovoltaic technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
High thermoelectric performance by resonant dopant indium in nanostructured SnTe
Qian Zhang,Bolin Liao,Yucheng Lan,Kevin Lukas,Weishu Liu,Keivan Esfarjani,Cyril Opeil,David Broido,Gang Chen,Zhifeng Ren +9 more
TL;DR: This work studied the thermoelectric properties of nanostructured SnTe with different dopants, and found indium-doped SnTe showed extraordinarily large Seebeck coefficients that cannot be explained properly by the conventional two-valence band model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Studies on Anisotropic Thermoelectric Properties and Structures of n-Type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3
Xiao Yan,Bed Poudel,Yi Ma,Weishu Liu,Giri Joshi,Hui Wang,Yucheng Lan,Dezhi Wang,Gang Chen,Zhifeng Ren +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the peak dimensionless thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) of Bi2Te3-based n-type single crystals is about 085 in the ab plane at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoelectric Property Studies on Cu-Doped n-type CuxBi2Te2.7Se0.3 Nanocomposites
Weishu Liu,Qinyong Zhang,Yucheng Lan,Shuo Chen,Xiao Yan,Qian Zhang,Hui Wang,Dezhi Wang,Gang Chen,Zhifeng Ren +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that good reproducibility can be achieved by introducing an optimal concentration of 0.01 copper (Cu) per Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 samples without texturing.
