| Abstract Scope |
We will present our recent results on silicide materials (CrSi2 and MnSiγ) which were selected for their low cost and/or advantageous properties. For example, the Nowotny-chimney ladder compounds MnSiγ (γ ~ 1.73) is particularly interesting as it exhibits sufficiently high ZT values (≥ 0.5 at 500 °C) in a wide temperature range, which is an advantage for stable electricity production. These advantages render them ideal candidates for the development of industrial prototypes. CrSi2 is also an interesting p-type alternative materials with similar structural features to above mentioned one, and we will present here recent results on the improvement of its thermoelectric properties through a slip-casting process under a strong magnetic field. |
