ABSTRACT
State-of-the-art thermoelectric generator efciency has risen to over 15% due to the development of new materials [1]. While impressive, signicant gains in conversion efciency are still required for thermoelectric generators to be competitive against traditional mechanical heat engines [2,3]. In this chapter, we focus on the identication of new materials with the potential for even higher thermoelectric performance. Traditional experimentally led searches are compared to new approaches that utilize high-throughput (HT) computations to screen materials.
