This book was released on 2015 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal Chalcogenide nanostructures have been extensively implemented for high-performance thermoelectric applications, which can directly convert waste-heat-energy into electricity, with the support of theoretical and empirical results. In fact, finding a novel and cost effective synthesis approach that facilitates the formation of stable and reproducible nanostructured thermoelectric materials determines the commercial applicability.
