Optimally Distributed Transport Properties Can Produce Highest Performance Thermoelectric Systems

Optimum cooling of conventional thermoelectric (TE) devices is limited to about ⅙ Carnot efficiency for TE materials with figure of merit, ZT ≈ 1. This is ¼ to ½ the efficiency of typical two‐phase refrigeration systems and limits the use of TE materials to specialized applications where a combinati...
