Abstract A cost‐effective and green synthesis method was adopted for the of carbon dots (CDs) using easily available biomass, namely, Triticum (wheat), by varying pyrolysis time. The synthesized CDs are labeled as 1h, 2h, 3h, respectively, where “A” represents raw material, “1h,” “2h,” “3h” denote respective XRD analysis reveals turbostratic nature CDs. size shape samples were visualized HRTEM images. bandgap calculated Tauc's plot determined to be 3.66, 5.08, 4.89 eV respectively. FTIR...
Abstract Most of the best known SnTe‐based materials exhibit an attractive thermoelectric figure merit ( zT ) only at high‐temperature regime, but their performance low‐mid temperature ranges is quite uninspiring, and this discordance necessitates a large gradient (∆ T ≥ 550 K) to effectuate reasonable efficiency, η. Here, transition elements, Ti Zr, that have not been used in past are tried as dopants for SnTe enhanced device/average and/or η reported with lower ∆ ≈ 400 K without requisite...
Thermoelectric (TE) generators enable the direct and reversible conversion between heat electricity, providing applications in both refrigeration power generation. In last decade, several TE materials with relatively high figures of merit (zT) have been reported low- high-temperature regimes. However, there is an urgent demand for high-performance working mid-temperature range (400-700 K). Herein, p-type AgSbTe2 stabilized S Se co-doping are demonstrated to exhibit outstanding maximum figure...
ZnO is a promising candidate for use as an environmentally friendly thermoelectric (TE) material. However, high thermal conductivity leading to poor TE figure-of-merit (zT) needs be addressed achieve significant efficiency commercial applications. Here, we demonstrate that selective enhancement in phonon scattering leads increase the zT of because Al doping and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) encapsulation. These nanocomposites are synthesized via facile scalable method. The incorporation 1 at%...
