Hybrid Transverse Magneto‐Thermoelectric Cooling in Artificially Tilted Multilayers (Adv. Energy Mater. 3/2024)

Transverse Thermoelectric Conversion In article number 2302375, Ken-ichi Uchida and co-workers demonstrate that the performance of transverse thermoelectric conversion, in which charge and heat currents are interconverted in orthogonal directions, is improved by magnetic fields and/or magnetism. By combining permanent magnets with thermoelectric materials, they develop a new functional material called “thermoelectric permanent magnet,” providing a guideline for thermal management and energy harvesting technologies using magnets.
