• closedAccess   Large Power Factor Improvement in a Novel Solid–Liquid Thermoelectric Hybrid Device 

      Márquez García, Lourdes; Beltrán-Pitarch, Braulio; Powell, Damian; Gao, Min; García-Cañadas, Jorge American Chemical Society (2018-01-09)
      The performance of thermoelectric materials has been improved in the past few years by a significant reduction of the thermal conductivity, but this parameter has now reached its (amorphous) limit, which makes the enlargement ...
    • openAccess   Measurement of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity using a thermoelectric module 

      Beltrán-Pitarch, Braulio; Márquez García, Lourdes; Min, Gao; García-Cañadas, Jorge IOP Publishing Ltd (2017)
      A proof of concept of using a thermoelectric module to measure both thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of bulk disc samples at room temperature is demonstrated. The method involves the calculation of the integral ...
    • openAccess   Power factor improvement in a solid–liquid thermoelectric system formed by Sb:SnO2 in contact with a chromium complex solution 

      Castro Ruiz, Sergio; Márquez García, Lourdes; Solis de la Fuente, Mauricio; Beltrán-Pitarch, Braulio; Mota-Babiloni, Adrián; Vidan-Falomir, Francisco; Íñigo-Rabinal, P.; Guisado-Barrios, Gregorio; García-Cañadas, Jorge Royal Society of Chemistry (2023)
      Thermoelectric (TE) materials can convert heat into electricity. Good TE materials should have high power factors (PF) and low thermal conductivities. PF = S2σ is governed by the Seebeck coefficient S and the electrical ...
    • openAccess   Room temperature screening of thermal conductivity by means of thermal transient measurements 

      García-Cañadas, Jorge; Cheng, Shudan; Márquez García, Lourdes; Prest, Martin J.; Akbari-Rahimadi, Ahmad; Min, Gao IOP Publishing (2016-10)
      A proof of concept of the possibility to estimate thermal conductivity of bulk disc samples at room temperature by means of thermal decays is demonstrated. An experimental set-up was designed and fabricated, which is able ...
