The two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide nanosheet-carbon composite is an attractive material for energy storage because of its high Faradaic activity, unique nanoconstruction and electronic properties. In this work, a facile one step preparation molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet-graphene (MoS2/G) with the in situ reduction graphene oxide reported. structure, morphology composition pure MoS2 composites were comparatively analyzed by various characterization techniques....
Silicon germanium alloys (Si80Ge20) have been used in thermoelectric generators for deep space missions to convert radioisotope heat into electricity. This work demonstrates the highest value of figure-of-merit (ZT) ∼1.84 at 1073 K n-type SiGe nanostructured bulk alloys, which is 34% higher than reported record alloys. The optimized samples exhibit a Seebeck coefficient ∼284 μV K−1, resistivity ∼45 μΩ m and thermal conductivity ∼0.93 W m−1 K−1 K. main contributing factor enhanced ZT very low...
