Thermoelectric Properties of Tetrahedrites Produced from Mixtures of Natural an...
Santos, Beatriz; Esperto, Luís; Figueira Vasques, Isabel; Mascarenhas, João; Lopes, E.B.; Salgueiro, Rute; Silva, Teresa; Correia, Jose B.ABSTRACT: Thermoelectric materials have considerable potential in the mitigation of the global energy crisis, through their ability to convert heat into electricity. This study aims to valorize natural resources, and potentially reduce production costs, by incorporating tetrahedrite-tennantite (td) ores from the Portuguese Iberian Pyrite Belt into synthetic samples. The ore samples were collected in a mine wast...
Tetrahedrite Nanocomposites for High Performance Thermoelectrics
Coelho, Rodrigo; Moço, Duarte; Sá, Ana; Luz, Paulo P. da; Neves, Filipe; Cerqueira, Maria de Fátima; Lopes, E.B.; Brito, Francisco; Mangelis, PanagiotisABSTRACT: Thermoelectric (TE) materials offer a promising solution to reduce green gas emissions, decrease energy consumption, and improve energy management due to their ability to directly convert heat into electricity and vice versa. Despite their potential, integrating new TE materials into bulk TE devices remains a challenge. To change this paradigm, the preparation of highly efficient tetrahedrite nanocomp...
Influence of Cr on the quaternary FeTaTiW medium entropy alloy
Martins, Ricardo; Monteiro, Bernardo; Pereira Gonçalves, Antonio; Correia, Jose B.; Galatanu, Andrei; Alves, Eduardo; Tejado, ElenaABSTRACT: The search for advanced materials has been growing, and high entropy alloys (HEAs) are emerging as promising candidates for application in the fusion domain. This work investigates the effect of Cr on the FeTaTiW medium entropy alloy to form (CrFeTaTi)70W30 high entropy alloy, comparing the experimental production and characterization with the simulation (molecular dynamics and hybrid molecular dynami...
