A combination of density functional theory (DFT) methods and quantum transport theory (QTT) has been used to investigate the spectroscopic, electronic, and thermoelectric properties of carbon nanohoop molecules with different molecular templates. The connectivity type, along with inherent strain, impacts the transport behavior and creates a destructive quantum interference (DQI), which proves itself to be a powerful strategy to enhance the thermoelectric properties of these molecules, making them promising candidates for thermoelectric applications.

High-temperature reduction of TiO causes the gradual formation of structural defects, leading to oxygen vacancy planar defects and giving rise to Magnéli phases, which are substoichiometric titanium oxides that follow the formula Ti O, with 4 ≤ ≤ 9. A high concentration of defects provides several possible configurations for Ti and Ti within the crystal, with the variation in charge ordered states changing the electronic structure of the material. The changes in crystal and electronic structures of Magnéli phases introduce unique properties absent in TiO, facilitating their diverse applications.

Materials with both high thermoelectric (TE) performance and excellent magnetocaloric (MC) properties near room temperature are of great importance for all-solid-state TE/MC hybrid refrigeration. A combination of such two critical characteristics, however, is hardly attainable in single phase compounds. Herein we report a composite material that comprises Bi-Sb-Te thermoelectric and Ni-Mn-In magnetocaloric components as an innovative thermoelectromagnetic material with dual functionalities.

Organic thermoelectric (TE) materials are of great interest for researchers in waste heat recovery, especially for waste heat harvesting at near room temperature. Significant progress has been achieved in terms of their figure of merit () values recently, which has presented new insights into the development of organic TE materials. For numerous practical applications of thermoelectric generators, where waste heat is unlimited and cost negligible, the primary goal has been switched to achieve high power output density rather than improving their heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency.
