Ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS) is a recently proposed technique able to synthesize and sinter dense materials within seconds. Although UHS has already proved its effectivity with a large set of materials, spanning from refractory ceramics to complex metal alloys, any application to thermoelectric materials is today still lacking. MgSi is a well-established thermoelectric material.

Waste heat recovery is one of the suitable industrial applications of thermoelectrics. Thermoelectric generators (TEG) are used, commonly, only for low-mid size power generation systems. The low efficiency of thermoelectric modules generally does not encourage their combination with high power and temperature sources, such as gas turbines.
