TL;DR: It is shown that together these effects can effectively manipulate electron and phonon transport at nanometre and mesoscopic length scales and thereby improve the thermoelectric performance of the resulting nanocomposites.

TL;DR: In this article, high performance Bi2Te3 bulk materials with layered nanostructure have been prepared by combining melt spinning technique with spark plasma sintering, and their thermoelectric transport properties are investigated.

TL;DR: This Review summarizes the efforts devoted to the study of non-equilibrium synthesis of TE materials with multi-scale structures, their transport behavior, and areas of applications and describes two integrated power generating TE systems that represent perhaps the most important applications of thermoelectricity in the energy conversion area.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that the performance deterioration of thermoelectric materials in the intrinsic excitation region can be suppressed through the magnetic transition of permanent magnet nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical transport properties of polycrystalline SnSe and K0.01Sn0.99Se were investigated by combining mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering.
