Thermoelectric active materials and generators containing the same

The thermoelectric generator comprises a p- or n-doped semiconductor material, which is a ternary material from combination of two components of material classes. The semiconductor material is a binary or ternary alloy from the material class. The p- or n-doping is carried out through choice of the...

More Information
Summary:The thermoelectric generator comprises a p- or n-doped semiconductor material, which is a ternary material from combination of two components of material classes. The semiconductor material is a binary or ternary alloy from the material class. The p- or n-doping is carried out through choice of the quantity ratio of the components or the p-doping is carried out with alkali metals and the n-doping is carried out with antimony, bismuth, selenium, tellurium, bromine or iodine. Independent claims are included for: (1) a semiconductor material; (2) a method for the production of semiconductor materials; (3) a method for combinatorial production and testing of semiconductor materials; and (4) an array of different semiconductor materials.
