Nanoscale Thermoelectric Conversion
Summary
The thermoelectric figures of merit are improved by reducing thermo conductivities due to a combination of the interface scattering effect and size confinement effect compared with the conventional nanowires. This breakthrough could lead to significantly better thermoelectric materials in the future. This method can also be extended to other nanowire heterostructure synthesis by simply changing the precursor solution to create other thermoelectric materials.
