About the Project

The aim of this project is to develop high performance Bi2Te3-based TE materials. Major developments on Bi2Te3 have been based on single-phase alloys, whereas our recent studies have shown higher efficiencies in multiphase TE compounds compared to the single-phase materials. The principal goals of the current proposal can be split into designing high performance TE materials and incorporating them into devices. The innovative aspects of the project are:
- Designing and synthesis of novel high performance TE materials.
- Adopting novel techniques to characterise these materials.
- Developing fundamental understanding of chemical heterogeneity on transport properties of multiphase TE materials.
