## Description

- description: Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) alloys have long been the backbone of thermoelectric
    technology, driving breakthroughs in solid-state refrigeration and possible power
    generation for over 60 years.1-3 With continuous advancements in both n-type (Bi2Te3–xSex)
    and p-type (BixSb2–xTe3) compositions, Bi2Te3 continues to elevate thermal efficiency
    (η) and enhance the performance (COP) of cooling systems, reigning as the present
    champion material in commercial Peltier modules, or thermoelectric coolers (TECs).
    Compact and reliable, TECs leverage the Peltier effect for precise micro-cooling
    in compact spaces, making them ideal for optoelectronics, wearable tech, and medical
    devices. The need for such TECs and relatively low temperature energy harvesting
    is intensifying, and also stimulating research into novel replacement materials
    like Mg3(Sb, Bi)2.
