Comprehensive Insights into Synthesis, Structural Features, and Thermoelectric Properties of High-Performance Inorganic Chalcogenide Nanomaterials for Conversion of Waste Heat to Electricity

“…At 34%cSnSe 2 , the value of S reached a maximum of −257. 46 μV/K at 250 °C which is due to a decrease in carrier concentration caused by compositional variation. The highest PF was calculated to be 155 μW/(m K 2 ) at 250 °C.…”

“…The working of thermoelectric devices is based on three effects, namely, the Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, and Thomson effect . In TE generators, the conversion of heat to electricity is quantified by a dimensionless quantity known as the “figure of merit” (ZT).…”

“…34 This attractive class of materials has been used in many functional nanodevices including sensors, 35,36 transistors, 37 solar cells, 38 electrocatalysts, 39 photocatalysts, 40,41 adsorbents, 42,43 and nanogenerators. 44 The working of thermoelectric devices is based on three effects, namely, the Seebeck effect, 45 Peltier effect, 46 and Thomson effect. 47 In TE generators, the conversion of heat to electricity is quantified by a dimensionless quantity known as the "figure of merit" (ZT).…”

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation about the Influence of Peltier Effect on the Temperature Loss and Performance Loss of Thermoelectric Generator

“…However, the hot and cold-side temperature of the TEG was regarded as the constant in the study, which is hard in real life. Further, Wang et al [21] researched how Peltier effect affects the output performance and the deviation of the maximum power point by experiment. It is found that the actual power is less than the theoretical result DOI: 10.1002/ente.202100895 Thermoelectric generator (TEG) has great potential in low-grade waste heat recovery and there is some research on the influence of the Peltier effect on it.…”

A MPPT based on optimized FLC using manta ray foraging optimization algorithm for thermo‐electric generation systems

“…Another way is through maximizing the extracted power from the TEG source, which results in near full capacity operation of TEG devices. 15 The maximum power point (MPP) controllers are currently essential parts for developing more cost-effective TEG power generation solutions. The MPP tracking (MPPT) control is normally achieved through the power conditioning converters of TEG devices.…”
