Loss of energy around us

Vehicles with TE-generators

The using of thermoelectric devices decreases up to 10% in fuel consumption, and also, emissions of CO2!

Non-thermoelectric air-conditions contains a coolant, whose influence on environmental pollution is in 1300 times dangerous than CO2 emissions!

Duration: 24 month

State of Art: Materials

ZT=S2s/cZ – figure of merit of TE-material, T – temperature, ZT –

dimensionless figure of merit; S - Seebeck efficient, s - specific electrical conductivity,

c - specific thermal conductivity.Modern main task in thermoelectricity is creation of specific type of material «electronic crystal – phonon glass».

- Figure of merit of ТЕ-mterials

1 – from macro- to nano-

2 – insertion of nanoinclusions

8

Application of recent methods to test materials:- The inclusion of a large number of nanoinclusions;- Ordering nanoinclusions (placement nanoinclusions, alternating

nanoinclusions and macro-grains);- Modulation doping (creation of composites doped and non-doped phases)Development of new approach:- Creating conducting nanochannels

Novelty of the project : Material Science

New complex of theoretical methods in material research that developed by project authors: crystal-chemical, thermodynamics, quasi-chemical, and crystal-quasi-chemical.
