Thermal Conductivity Efficiency of a thermoelectric material depends on its electrical and thermal conductivities. For realizing efficient thermoelectric devices it is essential to have materials with high electrical but low thermal conductivity. The cover picture illustrates some strategies used for realizing efficient thermoelectric systems by controlling thermal conduction in the material.
