With global warming and an increased awareness of climate change, devices such as thermoelectric modules can be part of the solution, particularly if their relative power and efficiency can be increased. The aim of this project is to bring together theoreticians, experimentalists, materials scientists, and industrial partners with complementary expertise to develop new techniques and methods for fabricating novel thermoelectric/thermionic materials with high figure of merit, ZT, for solid state refrigeration applications. The success of the project will lead to a 3 to 5 fold increase in the market share of thermoelectric cooler and will have a significant impact on the Australian economy and reduce greenhouse emissions and global warming.

随着全球变暖和气候变化意识的增强，热电模块等设备可以成为解决方案的一部分，特别是如果它们的相对功率和效率可以提高的话。该项目的目的是将具有互补专业知识的理论家、实验家、材料科学家和工业合作伙伴聚集在一起，开发新的技术和方法，以制造具有高品质的新型热电/热离子材料，用于固态制冷应用。该项目的成功将导致热电冷却器的市场份额增加3到5倍，并将对澳大利亚经济和减少温室气体排放和全球变暖产生重大影响。
