The recently published 2025 Roadmap Toward Sustainable Thermoelectrics, collaboratively authored by Cevriye Koz and Richard Tuley, presents a forward-looking perspective on thermoelectric technology. Here are some key takeaways:
The 2025 Roadmap Toward Sustainable Thermoelectrics, authored by Cevriye Koz, Richard Tuley, and others, outlines the future direction of thermoelectric technology by leveraging the Seebeck effect to convert heat into electricity and vice versa. While this technology offers advantages such as no moving parts, reliability, and scalability, it faces challenges like low efficiency and high production costs that hinder widespread adoption. The increasing energy costs and the growing demand from the Internet of Things (IoT) present significant opportunities for advancement in thermoelectric systems. The roadmap emphasises the importance of integrating sustainability into development, highlighting the need for eco-friendly processing, resource-efficient fabrication, and a focus on durability and recycling. Organised into sections on sustainability and specific thermoelectric materials, the document aims to stimulate ongoing research and facilitate the early adoption of sustainable practices in thermoelectric technology. For further details, the full manuscript is accessible here.
