"This is a PhD research project in ChemistryThermoelectrics convert waste heat into electricity and are considered an important component of a sustainable energy future. This project aims to improve the performance of Zintl-type thermoelectric materials based on abundant elements using phase boundary mapping. This recently discovered approach allows for a systematic variation of the defect chemistry through careful exploration of the phase diagram. The PhD project will use this new approach to investigate a range of Heusler and Zintl phases which the research group has worked on extensively, and for which all necessary equipment is available in the research group. The research will also include experiments at large neutron and synchrotron facilities, including the ISIS neutron and muon source and the Diamond Light Source."

“这是化学热电学领域的一个博士研究项目，将废热转化为电能，被认为是可持续能源未来的重要组成部分。该项目旨在使用相界图来提高基于丰富元素的 Zintl 型热电材料的性能。这种最近发现的方法允许通过仔细探索相图来系统地改变缺陷化学。该博士项目将使用这种新方法来研究一系列 Heusler 和 研究小组对 Zintl 阶段进行了广泛的研究，并且研究小组提供了所有必要的设备。该研究还将包括在大型中子和同步加速器设施中进行的实验，包括 ISIS 中子和μ子源以及钻石光源。”
