Thermoelectric materials and devices, which can convert heat energy to electrical power, provide opportunities to harvest useful electricity from waste heat. Because of the advantages of no moving parts, no noise signature, and exceptional reliability, TE conversion technology is widely used in power generation and refrigeration. The purpose of this paper to give an idea about synthesis and characterization techniques of composite TE materials that is used in different type of research work. Also, the current applications of TE materials and their devices are reviewed. Lastly, the future development of highly efficient TE materials through synergetic optimization and their future applications will be proposed. | |
