  2. 11. Scandium Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectrics

    Author : Sit Kerdsongpanya; Per Eklund; Björn Alling; Lars Hultman; Gunilla Wingqvist; Heiner Linke; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thermoelectric devices are one of the promising energy harvesting technologies, since they can convert heat (i.e. a temperature gradient) to electricity. This result leads us to use them to harvest waste heat from heat engines or in power plants to generate usable electricity. READ MORE

  4. 12. Doping and Density of States Engineering for Organic Thermoelectrics

    Author : Guangzheng Zuo; Martijn Kemerink; Ergang Wang; Mariano Campoy-Quiles; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Thermoelectric materials can turn temperature differences directly into electricity. To use this to harvest e.g. waste heat with an efficiency that approaches the Carnot efficiency requires a figure of merit ZT larger than 1. READ MORE

  5. 13. Synthesis of nanoporous Ca3Co4O9 thin films for flexible thermoelectrics

    Author : Binbin Xin; Per Eklund; Biplab Paul; Niclas Solin; Tomas Nyberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : During energy generation, transportation and usage, large amounts of energy are lost as waste heat. With increasing energy consumption and environmental issues, exploiting this waste heat has drawn extensive attention. READ MORE

  6. 14. Design of Transition-Metal Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectrics

    Author : Sit Kerdsongpanya; Per Eklund; Björn Alling; Gunilla Wingqvist; Lars Hultman; Daniel Gall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Thermoelectric devices are one of the promising energy harvesting technologies, because of their ability to convert heat (temperature gradient) to electricity by the Seebeck effect. Furthermore, thermoelectric devices can be used for cooling or heating by the inverse effect (Peltier effect). READ MORE

  7. 15. Chemical Doping of Conjugated Polymers for Thermoelectric Applications

    Author : Mariavittoria Craighero; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mechanical properties; conjugated polymers; solid-state order; organic thermoelectrics; chemical doping;

    Abstract : The ongoing development of interconnected and wearable small devices, which together make up the so-called Internet of Things, is driving a rising need for autonomous and on-site energy supplies. Heat, an abundant and often wasted energy source, can be harnessed through thermoelectric generators that can directly convert heat into electricity. READ MORE
