Performance analysis and optimization of the rough-contact Bi2Te3-based thermoelectric cooler via metallized layers

We use the numerical simulation to investigate an optimized metallized barrier layer for enhancing the performance of the Bi2Te3-based thermoelectric cooler (TEC). The maximal cooling capacity of 15.627 W and 5.646 W has been obtained under perfect and rough contact TEC. For the actual rough contact...
