The Quest for Efficiency in Thermoelectric Nanowires

February 3, 2015

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Efficiency is big in the tiny world of thermoelectric nanowires.

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories say better materials and manufacturing techniques for the nanowires could allow carmakers to harvest power from the heat wasted by exhaust systems or lead to more efficient devices to cool computer chips.

Sandia researchers published a paper, “Using Galvanostatic Electroforming of Bi1-xSbxNanowires to Control Composition, Crystallinity and Orientation,” in the Jan. 28 edition of the Materials Research Society’s MRS Bulletin. The authors are W. Graham Yelton, Steven … Read More → "The Quest for Efficiency in Thermoelectric Nanowires"
