Improvement in the thermoelectric properties of porous networked Al-doped ZnO nanostructured materials synthesized <i>via</i> an alternative interfacial reaction and low-pressure SPS processing

Abstract

This work presents a novel, simpler and faster bottom-up approach to produce relatively high performance thermoelectric Al-doped ZnO ceramics from nanopowders produced by interfacial reaction followed by consolidation with Spark Plasma Sintering.
