TL;DR: In this paper, the main mile stones along the concept of thermoelectric nanocomposites, and then discuss some new trends, strategies and opportunities are reviewed and discussed.

TL;DR: Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has similar lattice structure to graphene and has a lattice mismatch with graphene of less than 1.7%. At the same time, h-BN has an atomic level of flat surface, B atoms and N atoms saturated into the bond, which was considered the highest among the insulating substrates as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the 2D layered CaAl 2 Si 2 -type Zintl phases are discussed in more detail, from fundamental crystal structure and electronic band structure to the approaches that have been successfully used to enhance the thermoelectric performance.

TL;DR: Flexible tactile sensors are a new type of electronic devices which provide the possibility for a machine to interact with the surroundings, being an emerging field after the rapid development of flexible electrodes.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between anharmonicity and low thermal conductivity in thermoelectrics is discussed, and several strategies which yield anharmony are also suggested, including lone pair electron, resonant bonding and rattling model.
