Abstract Scope |
Reduction of lattice thermal conductivity from nanostructuring has recently been regarded as a promising way to improved thermoelectric figures of merit zT. Structural control of thermoelectric materials has been recognized as a important tool to enhance performance of thermoelectric materials. Self-assembled nanostructures have been introduced into thermoelectric materials utilizing phase transformations. In this paper, we discuss the strategy to tune microstructural size and morophology of silicon base thermoelectric nanocomposites to reduce thermal conductivity and get additional benefits to thermoelectric performance. |
