A Review on Thermoelectric Generators: Progress and Applications (2020, background): “PbTe has a high melting point of 1190 K, good chemical stability, low vapor pressure and robust chemical strength [68].”
Thermoelectric generator (TEG) technologies and applications (2021, background): “This material has a high melting point of 1190 K, decent chemical consistency, low vapour pressure and a solid chemical strength [51].”
Reducing industrial energy demand in the UK: A review of energy efficiency technologies and energy saving potential in selected sectors (2018, background): “The conversion efficiency of thermoelectric generators is in the range of 1–5% while the operating temperature is within 150–600 °C [38,39], and they are therefore suitable to low and medium grade heat recovery applications.”
A review on thermoelectric renewable energy: Principle parameters that affect their performance (2014, background): “Semiconductor materials are promising for the construction of thermocouples because they have Seebeck coefficients in excess of 100 μV K 1 [105], and the only way to reduce k without affecting α and s in bulk materials, thereby increasing ZT, is to use semiconductors of high atomic weight, such as B”
