بهبود بازده تبدیل انرژی حالت جامد با استفاده از نانوساختارهای ترموالکتریک
Solid-state energy conversion technologies such as thermoelectric refrigeration and power generation require materials with low thermal conductivity yet high electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficiency. Although semiconductors are the best thermoelectric materials, they rarely have the such features. Nanostructures such as superlattices, quantum wires, and quantum dots provide novel method...
متن کاملCombustion - Thermoelectric Tube
In direct combustion-thermoelectric energy conversion, direct fuel injection and reciprocation of the air flowing in a solid matrix are combined with the solid-gas interfacial heat transfer and the solid conduction to allow for obtaining superadiabatic temperatures at the hot junctions. While the solid conductivity is necessary, the relatively large thermal conductivity of the available high-te...
متن کاملLocalised Ag+ vibrations at the origin of ultralow thermal conductivity in layered thermoelectric AgCrSe2
In materials science, the substructure approach consists in imagining complex materials in which a particular property is associated with a distinct structural feature, so as to combine different chosen physical characteristics, which otherwise have little chance to coexist. Applied to thermoelectric materials, it has been used to achieve simultaneously phonon-glass and electron-crystal propert...
متن کاملAccurate Measurement of Thermal Displacement in Filled Skutterudite by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
The efficiency of thermoelectric materials is characterized by the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT = T/ρκ, where is the Seebeck coefficient, ρ the electrical resistivity, T the temperature, and к the total thermal conductivity. To achieve high ZT, one needs to maximize the power factor /ρ, whereas minimize thermal conductivity к. The unfilled skutterudites have a high power...
متن کاملThermoelectric Properties of Highly-Crystallized Ge-Te-Se Glasses Doped with Cu/Bi
Chalcogenide semiconducting systems are of growing interest for mid-temperature range (~500 K) thermoelectric applications. In this work, Ge20Te77Se₃ glasses were intentionally crystallized by doping with Cu and Bi. These effectively-crystallized materials of composition (Ge20Te77Se₃)100-xMx (M = Cu or Bi; x = 5, 10, 15), obtained by vacuum-melting and quenching techniques, were found to have m...
