Thermoelectric material: The Core of Thermoelectric

Module
The most commonly used thermoelectric materials are
Bi2Te3, Pbte, SiGe. Due to crystal structure the material
Bi2Te3 has its own merit and importance over others. Its
structure makes it different as allow four times more electrical
resistivity two times more thermal conductivity.
During power production, the near about two third of energy
produced from fossil fuel is wasted in form of heat. Many
industries are trying to consume this heat into useful electricity
and this can be possible by good thermoelectric material,
however, its very hard to find such material. To use the
thermoelectric material for commercial purpose, its necessary
to increase their efficiency and it is possible now by the use of
doping tin selenide with sodium as a thermoelectric material
researched by Northwestern University. This material produce
large amount of electricity significantly instead of undoped
material.
Ferrotec nord is a company who offers the product made from
thermoelectric material. The company is good enough to
develop, manufacture and offers its customers a series of
thermoelectric generating modules for conversion of heat to

DC electricity. The most commonly used thermoelectric

materials are Bi2Te3, Pbte, SiGe. The thermoelectric material
used by ferrotec nord is Bi2Te3. They
manufactured
a
number of thermoelectric modules which can be used for
various electric equipments such as fans, light sources,
mobile mosquito trap generators, self-contained power
supplies, battery chargers, pipeline cathode protection
equipment, hot water flow meters, geothermal heat converters
and devices using power from centralized heating systems. The
lower temperature can be up to 2500C, medium can be (up to
2500C to 5000C) and higher temperature can be higher than
5000C for the applications designed with the thermo material.
The high efficiency peltier
module configured from Bi2Te3
material is also available for
lower range by Ferrotec nord.
The modules may be applied for
long time at a heat source of
upto 1800C. Remember, the
conversion efficiency of heat to
electricity can be maximum 3-4%
for Bi2Te3 based thermoelectric

module. Also it may be

covered with carbon thermal
for conducting heat sore more
or lesser as per customer
request.

Although many thermoelectric materials are used such as

Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3), Lead Telluride (PbTe), Silicon
Germanium (SiGe), and Bismuth-Antimony (Bi-Sb) alloys
according to situation, but due to crystal structure, Bi2Te3 has
its own merit and importance over others. It is highly
anisotropic in nature. Its structure makes it different as allow
four times more electrical resistivity two times more thermal
conductivity.
