Materials for Advanced Thermoelectrics

Thermoelectric materials comprise a wide range of solid compounds distinguished by their ability to convert thermal and electrical energy.

Silicides: Promising Thermoelectric Materials

The price of tellurium, a key component in many thermoelectric materials, has risen in recent years, leading to the search for more cost-effective substitutes. This article presents silicide materials as a cheaper potential alternative.

Silicides: Promising Thermoelectric Materials

In recent years, the price of tellurium, a key component in the bestperforming thermoelectric materials, has increased significantly, leading to the question, “Is it economically viable to produce thermoelectric generators on an industrial scale?
