Breakthrough in Waste Heat Conversion
Researchers have developed a new material that converts waste heat into energy using ferecrystals with twisted layers, achieving a thermoelectric figure of merit of 2.3. This breakthrough, led by Prof. Kanishka Biswas and Ms. Vaishali Taneja at JNCASR Bengaluru, stabilizes ferecrystals in a SnSe (tin selenide) matrix with TaSe₂ (tantalum selenide) layers. The material efficiently blocks heat waves while conducting electricity. This advancement in thermoelectric technology can significantly enhance energy efficiency across industries by capturing and reusing waste heat.
