Bottom-Up Engineering Strategies for High-Performance Thermoelectric Materials

Abstract: The recent advancements in thermoelectric materials are largely credited to two factors, namely established physical theories and advanced materials engineering methods. The developments in the physical theories have come a long way from the “phonon glass electron crystal” paradigm to the more recent band convergence and nanostructuring, which consequently results in drastic improvement in the thermoelectric figure of merit value. On the other hand, the progresses in materials fabrication methods and processin… Show more

“…7,[235][236][237][238][239] Several outstanding reviews have described the theory of thermoelectrics and traditional transport models in detail. 1,4,235,[240][241][242][243][244][245][246][247] These strategies have led to the discovery of many interesting classes of materials with superior thermoelectric performance, such as skutterudites, clathrates, half-Heusler alloys, transition metal chalcogenides, zinc phases and oxides, which have been represented in various notable reviews. [248][249][250][251] Additionally, there are comprehensive reviews on advanced thermoelectric material processing methods, such as thin films, self-sustaining heating synthesis, melt spinning, and field-assisted sintering.…”

“…To date, the majority of high-performing thermoelectric materials are chalcogenides, such as SnSe-, GeTe-, PbTe-, PbSe-, and Bi 2 Te 3 -based materials [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75]. In addition, efforts using both theoretical and experimental and even machine learning approaches are continued to be spent on discovering and improving materials performances [66,[76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92].…”
