Thermoelectric Materials Science and Technology Towards Applications

Thermoelectric (TE) materials science and technology has received unprecedented attention due to potentially disruptive solutions in critically important areas associated with global energy use and environmental issues, such as room-temperature cooling, chip-size hot-spot/temperature control, harvesting of industrial waste heat, power supplies in aerospace and/or marine environments, electronic device cooling, room-temperature cooling, and energy efficient vehicles. This special topic covers various topics in TE research including high-performance TE material discovery with a focus on novel materials synthesis for improved functionality, the applied physics aspects related to multi-scale structure fabrication/modulation technology, and high-efficiency/high-reliability device design/integration.
