Research team develops new strategy for designing thermoelectric materials

https://phys.org/news/2022-03-team-strategy-thermoelectric-materials.html

"constructed a database of two electronic structure parameters known to be correlated with materials' thermoelectric conversion properties: charge transfer energy (Δ) and onsite Coulomb repulsion energy (U). Data was collected from various materials containing transition metal ions... relationship between various chemical elements and the parameters... materials with desirable thermoelectric conversion properties occur in particular areas along the plotted Δ and U values"
