Grant Description
Thermoelectric (TE) technology whereby heat is converted to electrical power and vice versa holds great potential for cooling and power generation in many applications because its unique solid-state nature enables TE devices to be free from emissions and maintenance; thus providing extraordinary reliability.
Realizing this potential requires developing modules that have high performance at around room temperature (-70 C to 300 C).
Currently, almost all commercial modules are based on bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) because of their until now unparalleled performance.
However, Bi2Te3 cannot meet the rapidly increasing demand of TE technology, because tellurium (Te) is very scarce, with the Earths crust having a concentration of
