India, Sept. 14 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
An unusual heat transport regime detected in a newly studied copper chalcogenide material called thallium copper selenide (TlCu5Se3) could pave way for efficient conversion of waste heat to electricity via thermoelectric energy conversion in power plants, cement industries, steel plants, automobiles, data centres and battery heat management systems.
Conventional superionic materials can achieve low lattice thermal conductivity via highly mobile ions. But excessive ion migration may cause structural instability and compromise its thermoelectric performance. Confined ion diffusion, where ionic motion remains restricted within a complex crystalline framework, offers a way to su...
