This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume discusses new and well-known electrochemical energy harvesting, conversion, and storage techniques. It provides significant insight into the current progress being made in this field and suggests plausible solutions to the future energy crisis along with approaches to mitigate environmental degradation caused by energy generation, production, and storage. Topics in Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage Systems for Future Sustainability: Technological Advancements address photoelectrochemical catalysis by ZnO, hydrogen oxidation reaction for fuel cell application, and miniaturized energy storage devices in the form of micro-supercapacitors. The volume looks at the underlying mechanisms and acquired first-hand information on how to overcome some of the critical bottlenecks to achieve long-term and reliable energy solutions. The detailed synthesis processes that have been tried and tested over time through rigorous attempts of many researchers can help in selecting the most effective and economical ways to achieve maximum output and efficiency, without going through time-consuming and complex steps. The theoretical analyses and computational results corroborate the experimental findings for better and reliable energy solutions.

Download or read book CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics written by D.M. Rowe and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermoelectrics is the science and technology associated with thermoelectric converters, that is, the generation of electrical power by the Seebeck effect and refrigeration by the Peltier effect. Thermoelectric generators are being used in increasing numbers to provide electrical power in medical, military, and deep space applications where combinations of their desirable properties outweigh their relatively high cost and low generating efficiency. In recent years there also has been an increase in the requirement for thermoelectric coolers (Peltier devices) for use in infrared detectors and in optical communications. Information on thermoelectrics is not readily available as it is widely scattered throughout the literature. The Handbook centralizes this information in a convenient format under a single cover. Sixty of the world's foremost authorities on thermoelectrics have contributed to this Handbook. It is comprised of fifty-five chapters, a number of which contain previously unpublished material. The contents are arranged in eight sections: general principles and theoretical considerations, material preparation, measurement of thermoelectric properties, thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric generation, generator applications, thermoelectric refrigeration, and applications of thermoelectric cooling. The CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics has a broad-based scope. It will interest researchers, technologists, and manufacturers, as well as students and the well-informed, non-specialist reader.

Download or read book Development of New Solid Solution Zintl Phases for Direct Thermal to Electrical Energy Conversion written by Nasrin Kazem and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enhancing the efficiency of the thermoelectric devices is the necessary achievement to guarantee their commercial large-scale application to convert heat to electricity. To compete with the present mechanical energy generators, thermoelectric materials with at least three times more efficiency than today's commercial ones are required. This conversion efficiency corresponds to a thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, of ~ 3, which has been remained elusive for the life time of thermoelectric research. Finding high zT values among Zintl phase compounds such as Yb14MnSb11, EuZn2Sb2, Yb9Mn4.2Sb9, clathrates, and the filled skutterudites in about fifteen years of Zintl studies for thermoelectric applications shows the potential of this family of compounds for discovery of more efficient thermoelectric materials. In this dissertation, two recently discovered family of Zintl antimonide compounds Eu11Cd6Sb12 and Eu9Cd4Sb9 were selected for thermoelectric studies with a focus on their chemistry, crystal structure and transport properties. Zintl phases are a subclass of intermetallic compounds that are traditionally defined by valence precise structures prepared from electropositive and electronegative main group elements. A wide variety of materials with bonding/electronic structure between that of insulators and metals are possible in Zintl phases as a result of the many different choices of elements. The structural and chemical flexibility of Zintl structures enable the engineering of the electronic and chemistry in this family to optimize the structural and electronic properties. In this dissertation, the structural flexibility of Eu11Cd6Sb12 and Eu9Cd4Sb9 Zintl compounds is explored by alloying their crystallographic sites. The resulting solid-solution compounds are extensively studied by conventional and synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques to carefully characterize their structures in order to relate them to their experimentally observed transport properties. All solid solutions show the "coloring problem" as a result of the non-random distribution of the dopant (solute) in the parent (solvent) crystal structure. In addition, the transport properties are further investigated through the theoretical calculations to relate the bonding/structure to their electronic properties in order to learn the fundamental requirements to designing new materials. All these compounds are p-type materials and their complexity and relatively large unit cells of these classes of compounds result in exceptionally low lattice thermal conductivities (
