Mitigating the Effect of Nanoscale Porosity on Thermoelectric Power Factor of Si

S. Aria Hosseini, Giuseppe Romano, P. Alex Greaney

The addition of porosity to thermoelectric materials can significantly increase the figure of merit, ZT, by reducing the thermal conductivity. Unfortunately, porosity is also detri…
