15-Fold increase in solar thermoelectric generator performance through femtosecond-laser spectral engineering and thermal management by Tianshu Xu, Ran Wei, Subhash C. Singh, Chunlei Guo

“…However, their widespread adoption has been limited due to the lack of high-efficiency thermoelectric materials and compact heat sinks for effective heat dissipation. To address these issues, we develop a spectral engineering and thermal management strategy that significantly increases STEG power generation by 15 times with only a 25% increase in weight. …”
