Electronic structure of thermoelectric materials
Abstract
<p indent="0mm">Solid-state thermoelectric materials based on the Seebeck effect and Nernst effect can realize the direct conversion between heat and electricity, thereby exhibiting important applications in various fields, including but not limited to deep space exploration, solid-state refrigeration, and precise temperature control. The intrinsic electronic structure is the key to determining the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials. The development of band structure engineering and the discovery of novel electronic structures will provide great opportunities for further breakthroughs in thermoelectric energy conversion technology. </p>
