Editorial for rare metals, special issue on advanced thermoelectric materials
As a clean energy technology to combat the global energy dilemma and the environmental problems,thermoelectrics that enable a direct conversion between heat and electricity have attracted increasing attention in recent decades.This solid-state,vibrationless technology has long been used for powering the spacecrafts of several deep-space missions and has limited commercial use in niche market,but these are now actively considered for a variety of new applications,such as the conversion of automobile exhaust heat into electricity.Meanwhile,materials research flourishes with the knowledge that significantly improves the thermoelectric efficiency for even more applications.This motivates Rare Metals to have a special issue focusing on thermoelectrics.
