Abstract:So far, the efficiency of thermoelectric energy conversion remains low compared to traditional technologies, such as coal or nuclear. This low efficiency can be explained by connecting the thermoelastic properties of the electronic working fluid to its transport properties. Such connection also shows that operating close to electronic phase transitions can be an efficient way to boost the thermoelectric energy conversion. In this paper, we analyze themoelectric efficiency close to the metal-insulator Anderson … Show more
