Advanced Simulation Design of Nanostructured Thermoelectric Materials with Enhanced Power Factors (NANOthermMA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

Roughly one-third of all energy consumption ends up as low-grade heat. Thermoelectric (TE) materials could potentially convert vast amounts of this waste heat into electricity and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. State-of-the-art nanostructured materials with record-low thermal conductivities (κ~1-2W/mK) have recently demonstrated large improvements in conversion efficiencies, but not high e...
