Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention create a cost-effective process that improves ZT value while enabling the TE materials to be scaled-up for mass production. Several embodiments of the invention include a thermoelectric material comprised of nanopowder and a nanomaterial. The nanomaterial may be in the form of a nanowire, nanofiber, nanotube, nanocrystal or similar form or combination of forms. Other embodiments include a method of creating a thermoelectric material through mixing and consolidating the nanomaterial and nanopowder into a solid. Additional embodiments may involve a thermoelectric module with P and N type semiconductors of the nanomaterial and nanopowder.
