Preface

Thermoelectric materials offer a simple and environmentally-friendly solution to solve the global energy crisis and become very popular in the field of renewable energy conversion technologies. A thermoelectric device has the ability to convert the heat coming from the sun to electricity, not only for the industrial sectors and automobiles, but the human body as well. Additionally, thermoelectric devices do not possess any moving parts and are thus free of any kind of noise or vibration. The performance of thermoelectric devices depends mostly on the type of materials used and their properties like their electrical conductivity, thermal stability, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. For an efficient thermoelectric device, high electrical conductivity is desired to reduce the Joule heating effect, low thermal conductivity is required for a large temperature gradient, and a high Seebeck coefficient results in a large potential/thermovoltage. For a single material, full control of these parameters is very challenging. As can be found, the existing thermoelectric materials display only ~5–20% conversion efficiency. Various strategies like nanostructuring, alloying and doping, are being applied to further enhance the efficiency of materials.

The time is ripe to summarize the information into a handbook to make it readily available for students and researchers preparing to work in this area. Advanced Thermoelectric Materials addresses the fundamental discussion, latest research & developments, and the future of thermoelectric materials. The book begins with the discussion on the principle of charge transfer from one constituent to another in chapter 1. It shows the recent work that has demonstrated thermoelectric enhancements using charge transfer effects in nanocomposites, including bulk nanocomposite materials as well as thin film heterostructures. In chapter 2, an overview of the physical background of silicon along with the recent advances in self-assembled nanostructured bulk silicon as high-performance thermoelectric materials is given. chapter 3 summarizes the development of disordered organic semiconductors and thermoelectric Seebeck effect, and several analytical theories on thermoelectric transport for disordered organic semiconductors. The innovative approaches towards the synthesis of thermoelectric oxides is discussed in chapter 4. In chapters 5 and 6, the current status are summarized of the research on the silicide-based thermoelectric materials and Mg2XIV (XIV=Si, Ge, Sn) based thermoelectric materials, respectively.

An overview of the various thermoelectric phenomena and materials properties is provided in chapter 7 and several of the current applications and key parameters are also defined and discussed. chapter 8 provides a discussion about the thin film photo-thermal materials and their applications in various fields, while in chapter 9 the present status of the experimental studies and the existence of anomalies in thermoelectric along with other properties on composition in semiconductor IV-VI–based solid solutions in the region of small impurity concentration are discussed. chapters 10 and 11 discuss the thermoelectric properties and thermal stability of granular carbon materials and conducting polymer nanocomposites, respectively. chapter 12 provides a general discussion on the disorder in metamaterials. The chapter covers three different models of the disordered metamaterials like (i) rotational disorder, (ii) sliding disorder, (iii) positional disorder.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the contributors for their collective and fruitful work. It is their efforts and expertise that have made this book comprehensive, valuable and unique. I am also grateful to Sachin Mishra, S. Patra and Anshuman Mishra, for managing the chapters, as well as the International Association of Advanced Materials fort their help and useful suggestions in preparing the book.
