Scientists have found a new thermoelectric material

The researchers found that tin selenide can perfectly convert excess heat into electrical energy.

Considering how much heat is wasted, scientists are constantly looking for materials able to convert thermal energy into electrical current. However, the ineffectiveness of modern thermoelectric materials does not allow to use them for a wide commercial implementation. A group of researchers headed by mercury Kanatzidis found that tin selenide may be the most famous termoelectrica. This material, unlike others, has a simple structure.





Useful properties diselenide tin can be used in automotive and heavy industry, power plants. In General, where the exhaust gases and heat energy are emitted into the atmosphere without a decent application.
