Innovative Magnetic Materials Revolutionize Thermoelectric Technology

Researchers from NIMS and UTokyo have developed a new approach to enhance thermoelectric performance using artificially tilted multilayers of magnetic metals and semiconductors. This design leverages the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) and the off-diagonal Seebeck effect (ODSE) to improve transverse thermoelectric conversion efficiency significantly. The study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that focusing on structural design and specific physical parameters can lead to better materials for practical applications like power generation from waste heat and electronic cooling.

Revolutionary Method Converts Waste Heat to Green Electricity Using Tungsten Disilicide

Researchers from Tokyo University of Science have demonstrated the transverse thermoelectric effect (TTE) in tungsten disilicide (WSi2), a breakthrough that could enhance the efficiency of thermoelectric devices. Unlike traditional devices, transverse thermoelectric devices generate electricity perpendicular to heat flow, reducing energy loss. This study, published in PRX Energy, highlights WSi2's unique electronic structure, which enables direction-specific conductivity, making it a promising candidate for future energy-efficient applications, such as sensors and waste heat conversion.
