Overview

Composite materials offer an excellent opportunity to further enhance the efficiency and sustainability of thermoelectric material-based systems for recycling waste process heat. By incorporating composite materials into the design, it is possible to optimise thermoelectric properties such as electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, resulting in improved energy-conversion efficiency. Composite materials also provide enhanced durability and flexibility, enabling their application across a wide range of industries for more effective waste-heat recovery and utilisation.
