Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Thermoelectric Performance of Yb-Single-Filled Skutterudite by Ultralow Thermal Conductivity
Wenjie Li,Jue Wang,Yuantao Xie,Jennifer L. Gray,Jean J. Heremans,Han Byul Kang,Bed Poudel,Scott T. Huxtable,Shashank Priya +8 more
TL;DR: The filling fraction limitation in n-type CoSb3 skutterudites is far below that of p-type (Fe,Co) Sb3-based skutterUDites, and it is critical to increase FFL for accomplishing high thermoelectric performance as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bismuth Telluride Thermoelectrics with 8% Module Efficiency for Waste Heat Recovery Application.
TL;DR: This work provides fundamental breakthrough in design of BiTe-based TE materials and utilize them to demonstrate modules with outstanding conversion efficiency of 8%, which is 40% higher compared with state-of-the-art commercial modules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoupled phononic-electronic transport in multi-phase n-type half-Heusler nanocomposites enabling efficient high temperature power generation
Han Byul Kang,Bed Poudel,Wenjie Li,Heon Joong Lee,Udara Saparamadu,Amin Nozariasbmarz,Min Gyu Kang,Adbhut Gupta,Jean J. Heremans,Shashank Priya,Shashank Priya +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a thermoelectric (TE) generator with tungsten nanoinclusions is proposed, which is based on a multi-scale nanocomposite architecture comprising of disordered phases with varying size of microstructural features.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Power Density Body Heat Energy Harvesting
Amin Nozariasbmarz,Ravi Anant Kishore,Ravi Anant Kishore,Bed Poudel,Udara Saparamadu,Wenjie Li,Ricardo Cruz,Shashank Priya +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, TEG modules with a low and high fill factor are demonstrated and their performance is compared in harvesting body heat. And they demonstrate ∼80% output power enhancement as compared to commercially available designs, resulting in high power density of up to 35 μW/cm2 in a steady state.
Journal ArticleDOI
High performance thermoelectric module through isotype bulk heterojunction engineering of skutterudite materials
Ge Nie,Wenjie Li,Junqing Guo,Atsushi Yamamoto,Kaoru Kimura,Xiaomi Zhang,Eric B. Isaacs,Vinayak P. Dravid,Chris Wolverton,Mercouri G. Kanatzidis,Shashank Priya +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate filled CoSb3 skutterudite materials with excellent thermoelectric (TE) performance that results in one of the highest reported single stage module efficiency.
