  1. 21. Interplay of Nanostructure and Molecular Doping of Poly(3-hexylthiophene)

    Författare :Jonna Hynynen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermoelectric plastic; P3HT; semiconducting polymer; Mo tfd-COCF3 3; F4TCNQ; structure-property relationships; doping;

    Sammanfattning : The accelerating growth of the number of inter-connected small devices, which together make up the so-called Internet of Things, is increasing the need for autonomous power sources. Heat is an abundant and often wasted source of energy. Thermoelectric generators could be used to harvest this waste energy. LÄS MER

    Författare :Muhammet S. Toprak; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Nanoengineering; Thermoelectric materials; Chemical Alloying; Skutterudite;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with novel aspects of Nanomaterials,Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. On the materials side, novelmethods were developed for the fabrication of nano-sizedbuilding blocks, such as nanoparticles, nanorods and nanowireswith defined structures and high homogeneity. Nanoparticleswere consolidated to nanostructured materials. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Chemical Doping of Conjugated Polymers for Thermoelectric Applications

    Författare :Mariavittoria Craighero; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mechanical properties; conjugated polymers; solid-state order; organic thermoelectrics; chemical doping;

    Sammanfattning : The ongoing development of interconnected and wearable small devices, which together make up the so-called Internet of Things, is driving a rising need for autonomous and on-site energy supplies. Heat, an abundant and often wasted energy source, can be harnessed through thermoelectric generators that can directly convert heat into electricity. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Discover of new energy sources and solutions are one of the important global issues nowadays, which has a big impact on economy as well as environment. One of the methods to help to mitigate this issue is to recover wasted heat, which is produced in large quantities by the industry, through vehicle exhausts and in many other situations where we consume energy.

  7. 25. Unlocking the potential of a caged star: Thermoelectric quaternary clathrates

    Författare :Joakim Brorsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monte Carlo; Boltzmann Transport; Inorganic clathrates; Thermoelectrics; Cluster expansion;

    Sammanfattning : Heat losses are an inevitable consequence of any energy conversion process, dictated by the second law of thermodynamics. This not only leads to an eternal struggle, via the pursuit of maximal efficiency, it also undermines our efforts to solve the two issues that pose the most significant challenges to modern society: climate change and the worlds surging energy need.
