A Hidden Dimension to Explore New Thermoelectrics

Fei Han, Nina Andrejevic, Mingda Li

Joule· Volume 2· Issue 1

Abstract

In this issue of Joule , Ohno et al. have come closer to developing a detailed microscopic structure-property link between a given thermodynamic state and its corresponding carrier information. By taking a promising Zintl thermoelectric compound, Mg 3 Sb 2 , as a prototype, the authors developed a guideline for identifying multiple "hidden" thermoelectric materials with different thermodynamic states within a nominally identical composition.
