Fabrication of bismuth-telluride thermoelectric wires by friction extrusion

Efficient conversion of low-grade heat into electric power is challenging for thermoelectric materials and systems. This is because the high-aspect ratio thermoelectric elements needed for maximum conversion efficiency are difficult and costly to manufacture. In this work, friction extrusion is expl...
