Device level assessment of Ni and Ni45Cu55 as electrodes in Mg2(Si,Sn)-based thermoelectric generators

Owing to efficient thermoelectric conversion, non-toxicity, low density and cost, Mg2(Si,Sn)-based solid solutions hold potential for mid-to-high temperature waste heat recovery. Yet, challenges arise from n-Mg2(Si,Sn) degradation at ≥400 °C caused by Mg loss and charge carrier reduction, particular...
