摘要: Abstract Since thermoelectrics is an energy-conversion technology from heat flow to electrical flow, or vice versa, it essentially a non-equilibrium phenomenon in the sense that energy and particle flows are involved. We have recently focused on this feature order overcome theoretical predictions of upper limit conversion efficiency thermal equilibrium conditions. One trial thermoelectric phenomena range non-ohmic conduction. The second approach shown by photo-doped carriers.
