What are Some Notable Nanostructured Thermoelectric Materials?
Several materials have shown promise when nanostructured.
- Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3): Widely used in thermoelectric devices, its performance can be significantly enhanced by creating nanoplates and nanowires. - Silicon Nanowires: These have shown remarkable reduction in thermal conductivity while maintaining good electrical properties. - Skutterudites: When doped and nanostructured, these materials can achieve high thermoelectric performance.
