Nanostructured Thermoelectric Films Synthesised by Spark Ablation and Their Oxidation Behaviour: Nanomaterials

Reducing the thermal conductivity of thermoelectric materials has been a field of intense research to improve the efficiency of thermoelectric devices. One approach is to create a nanostructured thermoelectric material that has a low thermal conductivity due to its high number of grain boundaries or voids, which scatter phonons. Here, we present...
