However, a higher ZT value is found to be difficult due to complex thermoelectric properties of materials. is a need for developing materials with high figure of merit. Keywords: thermoelectric, figure of merit (ZT), power generation, Seebeck effect, nanotechnology, energy Thermoelectric materials according to their composition and structure are classified as chalcogenides, clathrates, skutterudites, Half-Heusler (HH) alloys, The nanostructured thermoelectric materials have better figure of merit and conversion efficiencies as compared to the bulk counterparts.31-32) gap.36) Zintl phases are the potential candidates for obtaining high ZT value in thermoelectric materials, e.g. Thermal Conductivity and High Thermoelectric Figure of ./cache/work_jyn7jsj3x5ecjl77unfz5jck3q.pdf ./txt/work_jyn7jsj3x5ecjl77unfz5jck3q.txt
