A high battery temperature has been shown to be critical for lithium-ion batteries in terms of performance, degradation, and safety. Therefore, a precise knowledge heat sources sinks the is essential. We have developed thermal model batteries, that includes not included before, namely, Peltier Dufour effects. The derived using non-equilibrium thermodynamics heterogeneous systems, only theory wh...

The thermoelectric effect forms the basis of Peltier cooling that has attracted interest for solid-state refrigeration more than a century. dearth materials level efficiency in converting between heat and electricity limited widespread applications. With renewed focus on energy technologies past three decades, been intensely explored new using state-of-the-art advances fabrication, characteriza...

We report an enhancement of the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in Ni/Pt (001) epitaxial superlattices. The transport and magneto-thermoelectric properties were investigated for superlattices with various Ni layer thicknesses (${\it t}$). coefficient was increased up to more than 1 ${\mu}$V K$^{-1}$ 2.0 nm ${\leq}$ ${\it t}$ 4.0 nm, which remarkable compared bulk Ni. It has been found that large ...

Phonon transport is an essential property of thermoelectric materials. Although the phonon carries heat, which reduces the thermoelectric efficiency, it contributes positively to the Seebeck coefficient S through the phonon-drag effect, as typified by the high-purity semiconductors, which show fairly large S at cryogenic temperatures. Although such a large S is attractive in terms of Peltier co...
