The team at the University of Surrey, UK, and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) used flexible thermoelectric films by using tiny crystals, or “nanobinders”, that form a consistent layer of ...

Solvothermal synthesis creates nanocrystals in a solvent under high temperature and pressure, while screen-printing enables large-scale film production. The sintering process heats the films to ...

Most research in this area has focused on bismuth telluride-based thermoelectrics ... making it one of the best flexible thermoelectrics available," Professor Chen said. The team used "solvothermal ...
