Offer Description

The work will be focused on the design and development of new high-entropy perovskites with a high electrical conductivity, a high Seebeck coefficient, but a low thermal conductivity. New structures, having at least 4 cations in the A and/or B sites of the ABO3 perovskite structure, will be first theoretically predicted and then experimentally prepared. The main aim will be to generate new knowledge on the effect of multi-principal elements doping in perovskite structures on their thermoelectric performance. This will contribute to the improvement of efficiency in energy conversion of thermoelectric generators, thereby to the ongoing effort to reach a climate neutral Europe.

Keywords: high entropy materials, perovskite structures, thermoelectric properties, synthesis
