Simultaneous enhancement of mechanical and thermoelectric properties of polycrystalline magnesium silicide with conductive glass inclusion

Thermal fatigue and mechanical failure are two challenging aspects of thermoelectric (TE) module design and fabrication. Among the well-known TE materials with high conversion efficiencies are various brittle semiconductors or ceramics. However, formation of microcracks during fabrication and mechan...
