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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced thermoelectric figure-of-merit in p-type nanostructured bismuth antimony tellurium alloys made from elemental chunks.
TL;DR: In this paper, the same ball milling and hot press technique was used to obtain a peak ZT of about 1.3 in the temperature range of 75 and 100 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent phonon heat conduction in superlattices.
Maria N. Luckyanova,Jivtesh Garg,Keivan Esfarjani,Adam Jandl,Mayank T. Bulsara,Alexander Schmidt,Austin J. Minnich,Shuo Chen,Mildred S. Dresselhaus,Zhifeng Ren,Eugene A. Fitzgerald,Gang Chen +11 more
TL;DR: The experimental observation of coherent heat conduction through the use of finite-thickness superlattices with varying numbers of periods is reported, which is consistent with a coherent phononHeat conduction process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress of half-Heusler for moderate temperature thermoelectric applications
Shuo Chen,Zhifeng Ren +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis methods for optimizing individual parameters to enhance the thermoelectric performance in both MNiSn and MCoSb based half-Heuslers are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible Electronics: Stretchable Electrodes and Their Future
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the latest advances in stretchable transparent electrodes based on a new design strategy known as kirigami (the art of paper cutting) is presented.
