Book Description
Comprising two volumes, Thermoelectrics and Its Energy Harvesting reviews the dramatic improvements in technology and application of thermoelectric energy with a specific intention to reduce and reuse waste heat and improve novel techniques for the efficient acquisition and use of energy. This volume, Modules, Systems and Applications in Thermoelectrics, discusses the practical, novel, and truly groundbreaking applications of thermoelectrics in a range of markets. The book details the U.S. interest in alternative energy and energy harvesting, specifically, the current efforts to use thermoelectric generators (TGs) to reduce emissions. Internationally, it expounds on the strong interest in Japan, Korea and Europe to incorporate TGs in cars to reduce fuel consumption and meet EU carbon dioxide emission targets; the European plans to build an isotopic powered thermoelectric generator; and India’s use of TG s in converting hot water from steel mills into electricity.

Book Description
This book, "Multilayer Thin Films-Versatile Applications for Materials Engineering", includes thirteen chapters related to the preparations, characterizations, and applications in the modern research of materials engineering. The evaluation of nanomaterials in the form of different shapes, sizes, and volumes needed for utilization in different kinds of gadgets and devices. Since the recently developed two-dimensional carbon materials are proving to be immensely important for new configurations in the miniature scale in the modern technology, it is imperative to innovate various atomic and molecular arrangements for the modifications of structural properties. Of late, graphene and graphene-related derivatives have been proven as the most versatile two-dimensional nanomaterials with superb mechanical, electrical, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties. To understand the in-depth technology, an effort has been made to explain the basics of nano dimensional materials. The importance of nano particles in various aspects of nano technology is clearly indicated. There is more than one chapter describing the use of nanomaterials as sensors. In this volume, an effort has been made to clarify the use of such materials from non-conductor to highly conducting species. It is expected that this book will be useful to the postgraduate and research students as this is a multidisciplinary subject.

Pages : 552
Book Description
This volume, the 3rd in a series from the Materials Research Society, examines the current state of the art in thermoelectric materials research. The focus is on both the scientific capabilities currently employed, and those which are needed to provide new classes of thermoelectric materials with significant enhancement in the figure of merit, Z (100% or greater). This is a challenge for the thermoelectrics community, and thus drives the discussion towards new and innovative directions. Potential applications for thermoelectric technologies are discussed, with emphasis on typing specific materials properties/issues to the desired applications. Overviews of current application needs from thermoelectric devices, and thus the requirements for new materials or device design, are also featured. The volume is multidisciplinary in nature, with representation from the fields of physics, chemistry and materials science. Theoretical studies are presented, as well as experimental efforts in solid-state synthesis, new bulk materials, think-film and superlattice development, nanostructure materials, and new developments in property measurement, especially thermal conductivity.
Les nanomatériaux et leurs applications pour l'énergie électrique

Book Description
Les nanotechnologies apportent un fort potentiel d’innovation et de rupture dans de nombreux domaines. Leurs applications pour l’énergie en est un champ important, car la synthèse et la structuration des nanomatériaux y ouvrent des voies de progrès notables. Si divers ouvrages décrivent les innovations promises par les nanotechnologies sur des thématiques scientifiques générales ou spécialisées, très peu abordent le chemin qui va des nouvelles propriétés aux applications pour l’énergie électrique et ses usages. Cet ouvrage présente, sur des bases scientifiques solides, les apports des nanotechnologies et plus particulièrement des nanomatériaux aux enjeux de la production d’électricité et de ses usages. Après un panorama des effets physiques qui peuvent être exploités à ces échelles pour améliorer les propriétés des matériaux ou leur fonctionnalité, leur application à la production d’électricité, à son stockage, à ses usages ainsi qu’au traitement de questions environnementales est abordée. Elle conduit à explorer les domaines de l’électrochimie, du photovoltaïque, de la thermoélectricité, des propriétés mécaniques et thermiques des matériaux ou encore des membranes et des surfaces ultrahydrophobes. Chaque chapitre constitue une monographie exhaustive enrichie d’une abondante iconographie et d’une bibliographie très complète. Les meilleurs experts de chaque domaine ont été réunis, faisant de cet ouvrage une référence incontournable. Au confluent de plusieurs disciplines et en prise directe sur un vaste champ d’applications, ce livre s’adresse à un large public : ingénieurs et chercheurs, étudiants des écoles d’ingénieurs ou des universités aux niveaux licence et master.
