Importance of high power factor in thermoelectric materials for power generation application: A perspective

[Display omitted] The figure of merit (ZT) has been used for more than half a century to guide the research of thermoelectric materials. In this perspective viewpoint, we emphasize that the power factor (PF) is more important than the thermal conductivity for thermoelectric power generation for a gi...
