Perspectives of High-Temperature Thermoelectric Applications and p-type and n-type Aluminoborides

Abstract

A need exists to develop high-temperature thermoel ectricmaterials which can utilize high-temperature unutilized/waste heat in thermal power plants, steel works, factories, incinerators, etc., and also focused solar power. The thermal power plant topping application is of potential high impact since it can sizably in crease the efficiency of power plants which are the major supply of electrical power for many countries.
