FMD group’s expertise highlighted in new Chemistry of Materials review


The ceramic processing and thermoelectric characterisation expertise in the FMD group has been recently highlighted in an invited review in Chemistry of Materials. The paper, part of a major special edition of the journal, covered the major aspects of lab-based ceramic processing, and the standards required for reliable thermoelectric measurements, and gives a step-by-step guide to making high quality, reproducible ceramics using solid state processing. It also covers the major techniques and potential pitfalls associated with the characterisation of thermoelectric properties in n-type ceramics.

January’s special edition comprises a series of articles from internationally recognised groups, containing protocols and “trade secrets” in a wide variety of research areas, direct from the researchers in the field, and we were very pleased to be included in this wide ranging edition. 


The full reference is as follows: 

Protocols for the Fabrication, Characterization, and Optimization of n-Type Thermoelectric Ceramic Oxides

R. Boston , W. L. Schmidt, G. D. Lewin, A. C. Iyasara, Z. Lu, H. Zhang, D. C. Sinclair, and I. M. Reaney, Chem. Mater. 29 (2017), 265-280.
