Seebeck Effect
Thermoelectricity - known in physics as the
"Seebeck Effect"
• In 1821, Thomas Seebeck, a German physicist,
twisted two wires of different metals together
and heated one end.
• Discovered a small current flow and so
demonstrated that heat could be converted to
electricity.

• Cu 400 W/mK

• PbTe 2.2 W/mK

• Wood 0.2 W/mK

GROUP

Raising ZT of p-type PbS with endotaxial
nanostructuring and valence-band offset
engineering using CdS and ZnS
PbS is promising

GROUP
PbS is an ideal TE system because high performance in both n-type (ZT~1.1 at 923 K)
and p-type (ZT~1.1 at 923 K) can be achieved.

Conclusions
• A panoscopic view is required going forward
• Band alignment engineering between nanostructures and
matrix: ZT~2.2 at 900K
• Superior properties in p-type PbTe-SrTe achieved through
endotaxial placement of nanoprecipitates
– Nanostructures do not reduce the power factor and function
exclusively as phonon scatterers

• Large power factor enhancements are needed for continued
ZT increases
• High performance in nanostructured PbS (ZT~1.2-1.3 at 900 K)

Panoscopic view of thermoelectrics Atoms/molecular motifs Angstrom and sub-nm scale Electronic Structure Crystal Structure Crystal lattice & point defects Classical Microstructure Sub-nm to Nano-scale Precipitates & nanoscale defects Thin films/multilayers Interfaces Residual stresses Hierarchical Length-scale Architecture: Implications for “Nanostructured” Thermoelectrics  Interactions along varied length-scales  Identification of individual microstructure elements in electronic and phonon transport Interfaces Micro-to macro-scale Macroscale Device Architecture Macro-, and device-scale Interfaces  Tailoring and design of “microstructure”
  • 52. Conclusions • A panoscopic view is required going forward • Band alignment engineering between nanostructures and matrix: ZT~2.2 at 900K • Superior properties in p-type PbTe-SrTe achieved through endotaxial placement of nanoprecipitates – Nanostructures do not reduce the power factor and function exclusively as phonon scatterers • Large power factor enhancements are needed for continued ZT increases • High performance in nanostructured PbS (ZT~1.2-1.3 at 900 K)
