Fully 3D Printed Tin Selenide (SnSe) Thermoelectric Generators with Alternating -Type and Type Legs.

Tin selenide (SnSe) has attracted much attention in the field of thermoelectrics since the discovery of the record figure of merit () of 2.6 ± 0.3.

Rapid Printing of Pseudo-3D Printed SnSe Thermoelectric Generators Utilizing an Inorganic Binder.

There has been much interest in tin selenide (SnSe) in the thermoelectric community since the discovery of the record zT in the material in 2014. Manufacturing techniques used to produce SnSe are largely energy-intensive (e.g.

Printed Thermoelectrics.

The looming impact of climate change and the diminishing supply of fossil fuels both highlight the need for a transition to more sustainable energy sources. While solar and wind can produce much of the energy needed, to meet all our energy demands there is a need for a diverse sustainable energy generation mix. Thermoelectrics can play a vital role in this, by harvesting otherwise wasted heat energy and converting it into useful electrical energy.
