Thermoelectric Energy Conversion

Thermoelectric Energy Conversion: Theories and Mechanisms, Materials, Devices, and Applications

provides readers with foundational knowledge on key aspects of thermoelectric conversion and reviews future prospects.

Sections cover the basic theories and mechanisms of thermoelectric physics, the chemical and physical aspects of classical to brand-new materials, measurement techniques of thermoelectric conversion properties from the materials to modules and current research, including the physics, crystallography and chemistry aspects of processing to produce thermoelectric devices.

Finally, the book discusses thermoelectric conversion applications, including cooling, generation, energy harvesting, space, sensor and other emerging areas of applications.
