Design new-generation microscale thermoelectric device

本项目旨在通过发展新的热电发电理论模型，指导协同薄膜材料和器件的设计及相应的制造，在微尺度器件中实现超高热电发电性能。研究结果有望引领热电技术的革命性发展，显著扩展这种排放/振动/噪音/无服务技术的应用，并扩大相应的市场，这将在学术、教育、社会、经济和环境方面广泛造福澳大利亚社区。

This project aims at realizing ultrahigh thermoelectric power generating performance in the microscale device by developing new theoretical models for thermoelectric power-generation to guide the synergistic thin-film material and device design, and corresponding fabrication. The outcomes are expected to lead to revolutionary development of the thermoelectric technology, significantly extend the application of this emission/vibration/noise/service-free technology and expand the corresponding market, which will benefit the wide Australian community academically, educationally, socially, economically and environmentally.
