Materials Science (e.g. Computational/Theoretical/Physical Chemistry, Soft Matter, Polymer Research)

User's talk

The need for sustainable energy is nowadays well understood and multiple pathways are being explored, minimizing harmful by-products and energy waste in energy conversion processes. Thermoelectric effects have the potential to address these challenges, mainly by converting waste heat into reusable energy for industrial and domestic appliances [1].

Transition-metal nitrides (TMNs) are...
