Towards High-Performance Thermoelectric Generators based on Two-Dimensional Conjugated Metal–Organic Frameworks

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - T2DMOF (Towards High-Performance Thermoelectric Generators based on Two-Dimensional Conjugated Metal–Organic Frameworks)

Reporting period: 2023-07-01 to 2025-07-31

Energy is indispensable for industrial production and our daily life. Heat is an abundant, but often wasted source of energy. There is a neat heat engine called thermoelectric generator (TEG), which is able to convert temperature differences directly into electrical voltages via the Seebeck effect. The overarching goal of T2DMOF was to produce novel materials with high thermoelectric performance, enhancing the European scientific excellence in 2D materials research. T2DMOF aimed at incising the highly strategic field of 2D materials and advanced electronic and energy devices at EU level and beyond. T2DMOF developed an innovative library of materials, not only possessing unique thermoelectric properties, but also outstanding charge transport characteristics, and pushed these materials towards practical high-performance thermoelectric generator devices.
During the course of the project, a comprehensive study was conducted on T2DMOF, focusing on developing high-performance thermoelectric materials and device. The key activities included:
1. Synthesis of new materials.
2. Characterization of electronic transport properties and thermal transport properties.
The main scientific achievements include:
1. Development of novel methodologies of thermoelectric materials.
2. Publication of key findings in high-impact journals.
These results contribute to organic thermoelectrics and have opened new avenues for future research and collaboration.
The project achieved significant advancements in developing novel organic–inorganic materials for thermal energy conversion. Key results include:
1. Design and synthesis of novel 2D conjugated metal–organic framework (c-MOF) materials with high thermal power factors (PFs).
2. Development of a scalable prototype for energy-efficient thermoelectric devices.
3. Improved understanding of underlying mechanisms for enhanced thermoelectric performance for organic materials.
4. Publication of 3 high-impact journal articles.
