Other New Thermoelectric Compounds
Uzma Hira, Adnan Khadim Bhutta and Asifa Safdar
Thermoelectric (TE) compounds have made contributions to solving the energy crisis problem of the globe by providing various sustainable energy solutions. TE materials can transform waste heat of thermal power plants, automobiles, incinerators and domestic cooking stoves into electricity production. TE gadgets consist of n & p-type semiconductors in which temperature changes on the two different sites cause the flow of charges i.e., electrons and holes which produce voltage difference through Seebeck effect. Conventional metal alloys, half-Heuslar, Skutterudite compounds and metal oxides (MO) are considered important TE compounds owing to their high value of electrical conductivity, thermal stability, tunable electron transport, and phonon properties. But due to their rigidity and expensiveness, these are being replaced by polymeric compounds, which show excellent thermoelectric properties and are less expensive as compared to corresponding inorganic materials. In this chapter, the thermal electric properties of various promising n and p-type polymeric compounds are discussed in detail. Moreover, emerging TE applications in different fields of life are also discussed.
