Graphene doped metal oxide based thermoelectric materials production method

Abstract

Thermoelectric energy conversion is the process of converting heat energy directly into
electrical energy or electrical energy into heat energy with the highest efficiency.
Thermoelectric energy conversion is provided by thermoelectric modules made of ptype and n-type semiconductor materials. Thanks to the heat entering the module, the
energy levels of some electrons increase and as the electrons are released, they leave
holes in the semiconductor material. Electrons are carried from n-type, holes are carried
from p-type semiconductor material. Thus, the circuit is completed. Important results
have been obtained in the production of thermoelectric systems with nanotechnological
methods. For this reason, materials with the highest homogeneity are produced in the
electrospin mechanism, which is a nanotechnologic method. One of the important factors
in increasing homogeneity is the preference of additives that enter between metal oxide
particles. The best example of this is provided by the graphene doping. Efficiency is also
expected to be high in the production of graphene-doped metal oxide-based
thermoelectric-materials
