New Materials for Future Green Tech Devices

Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - 10:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Thermoelectric devices, which convert heat to electricity and vice versa, can harness that wasted heat, and possibly provide the green tech energy efficiency that's needed for a sustainable future. A new study shows how porous substances can act as thermoelectric materials--pointing the way for engineering the use of such materials in thermoelectric devices of the future.
