| Abstract Scope |
Thermoelectric materials/devices can contribute to energy saving [1] and to power IoT applications [2]. A variety of device forms of thermoelectric power generator (TEG) can be envisaged to confirm to various applications. I will report on our development of different TEGs comprised of novel materials in the form of bulk, thin film [3], and hybrid flexible devices. The materials range from copper sulfides [4], magnesium antimonides [5], Heusler alloys, Mg2Sn-based materials, etc.
