Nanostructured energy-harvesting thermoelectrics based on Mg2Si (ThermoMag)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The core concept of the ThermoMag project revolves around developing and delivering new energy-harvesting thermoelectric materials and proof-of-concept modules, based on nanostructured bulk Mg2Si solid solutions. This class of TE material would have the following attractive characteristics: (i) ZT value >1.5 for both n-type and p-type doped material, (ii) operational in the temperature range 300-5 ...

Next Generation Nano-engineered Thermoelectric Converters - from concept to industrial validation (NEXTEC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,
Global energy uncertainty and the limited recourses coupled with increased energy needs fuels the search for improving the efficiency of energy conversion technologies. Although the EU policies target increased use of renewable energy to 12% of gross energy production by 2010, this commitment has also highlighted the urgent need for improving the energy utilization of fossil-fuel based power-plant ...
