Converting waste heat into electricity? Mismatched alloys are a good match for thermoelectrics

Sunday, January 31, 2010 - 22:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have demonstrated that the semiconductors known as highly mismatched alloys hold great promise for the future development of high performance thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectrics could play a key role in green energy production because of their ability to convert heat into electricity.
