Heat-Dissipation Design and 3D Printing of Ternary Silver Chalcogenide-Based Thermoelectric Legs for Enhancing Power Generation Performance.

ABSTRACT: Thermoelectric devices have received significant attention because of their potential for sustainable energy recovery. In these devices, a thermal design that optimizes heat transfer and dissipation is crucial for maximizing the power output. Heat dissipation generally requires external active or passive cooling devices, which often suffer from inevitable heat loss and heavy systems. Herein, the design of heat-sink integrated thermoelectric legs is proposed to enhance heat dissipation without external cooling devices, realized by finite element model simulation and 3D printing of ternary silver chalcogenide-based thermoelectric materials. Owing to the self-induced surface charges of the synthesized AgBiSe₂ (n-type) and AgSbTe₂ (p-type) particles, these particle-based
