Its exploitation has been widely considered to contribute to the increasing need for energy along with the concerns about the environmental impact of traditional fossil energy sources. In the last few years, significant improvements in the performance of thermoelectric materials have been achieved through chemical doping, solid solution formation, and nanoengineering approaches. Furthermore, the feasibility of flexible, stretchable, and conformable thermoelectric harvesters has been demonstrated and has attracted the interest of an audience from many different fields. However, the path for practical applications of thermoelectrics is still a long one. This Special Issue of Materials intends to bridge the gap between materials science and applications of thermoelectric materials. Many topics are welcome: new thermoelectric compounds; the correlation between material structure and thermoelectric properties; bulk thermoelectric ceramics, oxides, and chalcogenides; bulk thermoelectric alloys and intermetallics; organic and polymeric thermoelectrics; thermoelectric thin films, multilayers, and nanocomposites; theory and modeling; thermal transport and thermal conductivity; applications and devices based on thermoelectric materials; standardization and metrology; and more. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 606 $aMaterials science$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $acalcium cobaltite 610 $achalcogenide 610 $aCo-Mo metallization layer 610 $acomposite 610 $acopper tin sulfide 610 $acrystal structure 610 $aCTS 610 $aCu2SnS3 610 $aelectrical properties 610 $ajoining 610 $amaterial production 610 $an/a 610 $aoxides 610 $aporosity 610 $aporous thermoelectric materials 610 $apowder x-ray diffraction 610 $aredox tuning 610 $aSeebeck coefficient 610 $askutterudite alloy 610 $askutterudites 610 $aTE performance 610 $athermal conductivity 610 $athermal stability 610 $athermoelectric materials 610 $athermoelectricity 610 $athin film 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 615 7$aMaterials science 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aMele$b Paolo$4edt$01277815 702 $aMele$b Paolo$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910566477803321 996 $aRecent Advances in Thermoelectric Materials for High Efficiency Energy Conversion and Refrigeration$93012097 997 $aUNINA
