Scientists on the forefront of the rapidly growing field of thermoelectric power generation have found that metals and metalloid compounds built upon antimony, lead, copper, tin, and bismuth hold the potential to aid in developing more efficient energy recapture materials and devices—a critical area of need as the global scientific community seeks ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.Scientists on the forefront of the rapidly growing field of thermoelectric power generation have found that metals and metalloid compounds built upon antimony, lead, copper, tin, and bismuth hold the potential to aid in developing more efficient energy recapture materials and devices—a critical area of need as the global scientific community seeks ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
