Wide Bandgap Materials for High Temperature Thermoelectric Power Generation
Wednesday, February 15, 2017, 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Lunch served beforehand.
Location: Bowen Hall 222
Speaker: Dr. Na Lu, Purdue University
Department: Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials
Series: PRISM/PCCM Seminar Series Spring 2017
Description: A brief presentation of research on nanostructured nitrides and oxides synthesized using advanced metal organic chemical vapor deposition methods. The resulting materials show promising thermoelectric (TE) properties due to their decoupled electrical and thermal properties. High temperature TE technology has the potential to directly convert waste heat into electricity
