Inverse-Perovskites Open New Horizons in Thermoelectric Applications

Tokyo Institute of Technology scientists report in a new study environmentally benign inverse-perovskites with high energy conversion efficiency have potential for practical application as thermoelectric materials (TEMs). The recent study published in Advanced Science, the researchers presented “inverse”-perovskite-based high ZT TEMs with the chemical formula Ba3BO, where B refers to silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge). Addressing the limitations typically faced with TEMs, such as insufficient energy conversion efficiency and environmental…
