Oxide Materials for Thermoelectric Conversion.

ABSTRACT: Thermoelectric technology has emerged as a prominent area of research in the past few decades for harnessing waste heat and improving the efficiency of next-generation renewable energy technologies. There has been rapid progress in the development of high-performance thermoelectric materials, as measured by the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT = S² · σ · κ^-1). Several heavy-metal-based thermoelectric materials with commercial-level performance (ZT = 1) have so far been proposed. However, the extensive application of these materials still faces challenges due to their low thermal/chemical stability, high toxicity, and limited abundance in the Earth's crust. In contrast, oxide-based thermoelectric materials, such as ZnO, SrTiO_3</
