SixGe1-x (x = 0.75 for n-type and 0.7 for p-type) is a typical thermoelectric material used at higher temperature as thermoelectric generator. Its property is dependent on the composition. SixGe1-x containing different amount of fullerite added as hollow quantum dot were fabricated by hot-pressing method. The relations among thermoelectric property, the amount of fullerite and the microstructure were investigated by normal measurement and analytical method.

PEDOT:Tos, a PSS-free PEDOT-based material, is a promising possible organic thermoelectric material for a practical conversion module because the material reportedly has a large power factor. However, since PEDOT:Tos is mainly reported to be a p-type thermoelectric material, the development of PSS-free PEDOT with n-type thermoelectric properties is desirable. Thus, in order to search for PSS-free PEDOT with n-type thermoelectric properties, we investigated the doping concentration of PTSA dependence of the thermoelectric property using the first-principle calculation. The band structure and the density of state indicated that the n-type thermal electromotive force was attributed to the electrons’ large effective mass. Such electrons were produced thanks to the binding of the dopant PTSA to the benzene ring. The contribution of the electron to the Seebeck coefficient increased with increasing PTSA doping concentrations.

FeNbSb is an excellent p-type half-Heusler thermoelectric material from the viewpoint of not only thermoelectric properties but also thermomechanical properties.
