High-temperature thermoelectric energy conversion—I. Theory☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the high-temperature thermoelectric energy-conversion theory and showed that semiconductors are the logical choices for high-figure of merit-value materials, but the requirements for optimization differ depending on whether the material is classed as a broadband or narrowband semiconductor.
