First principles study of electronic structure and thermoelectric transport in tin selenide and phase separated tin selenide-copper selenide alloy.

The electronic structure and thermoelectric transport in SnSe and its alloy with CuSe have been studied using the first principles technique and semi classical Boltzmann transport theory. Our study reveals that SnSe is p-type with indirect band gap of 0.66 eV, while the alloy is phase separated and n-type with negligible indirect band gap of 0.

A Promising Proton Conducting Electrolyte BaZrHoO (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) Ceramics for Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

In this study, the Ho-substituted BaZrO electrolyte ceramics (BaZrHoO, 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) were synthesized through a low-cost flash pyrolysis process followed by conventional sintering.

Nanoporous CaCoO Thin Films for Transferable Thermoelectrics.

The development of high-performance and transferable thin-film thermoelectric materials is important for low-power applications, e.g., to power wearable electronics, and for on-chip cooling.
