We welcome the latest research on new and novel thermoelectric materials and their uses in thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for energy harvesting applications.
This collection will cover (but not be limited to) the following topics:
- Novel thermoelectric materials for TEGs
- Advanced synthesis and processing techniques for thermoelectric materials
- Nanoscale materials for TEGs
- High-throughput and combinatorial approaches for thermoelectric materials discovery
- Advanced characterisation techniques for thermoelectric materials and devices
- Theoretical and computational methods for predicting and optimizing thermoelectric properties
- Novel approaches to enhance the performance of thermoelectric materials in TEGs
- Applications of thermoelectric materials in waste heat recovery, solar energy conversion, and other energy harvesting applications
- Challenges and opportunities in the development of thermoelectric materials for TEGs.
- Novel deposition methods, synthesis and characterisation of novel nanomaterials for thermoelectric applications.
- Advances in silicon nanostructures for thermoelectric applications.
- New trends in novel alloy materials and investigation of their properties for TEG applications
If you are interested in contributing to this collection, please get in touch with the Editorial Office or directly submit to: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ma (Please add a “note to the editor” in the submission form when you submit your manuscript to say that this is a submission for this themed collection.)
Submission deadline: Submit before 31 March 2024!
All submitted papers will go through the standard peer review process of Materials Advances and should meet the journal’s standard requirements as well as fit into the general scope of materials science. The Editorial Office and Guest Editors reserve the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of the collection and inclusion of accepted articles in the collection is not guaranteed. Accepted manuscripts will be added to the collection as soon as they are online, and they will be published in a regular issue of Materials Advances.
