Outline

Thermoelectric generator will make it possible to recover waste heat with converting it to electricity. The target of my research is development of new group-IV thermoelectric materials (GeSn), aiming for breaking the trade-off relation among Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. Fundamental technologies contributing to innovative energy conversion from heat to electricity will be established through this research.
