This paper reviews materials for thermoelectric waste heat recovery, and discusses selected industrial and distributed waste heat sources as well as recovery methods that are currently applied. Thermoelectric properties, especially electrical conductivity, thermopower, thermal conductivity and the thermoelectric figures of merit, are considered when evaluating thermoelectric materials for waste heat recovery. Alloys and oxides are briefly discussed as materials suitable for medium- and high-grade sources. Electroactive polymers are presented as a new group of materials for low-grade sources. Polyaniline is a particularly fitting polymer for these purposes. We also discuss types of modifiers and modification methods, and their influence on the thermoelectric performance of this class of polymers.
本文综述了用于热电废热回收的材料,并讨论了选定的工业和分布式废热源以及目前应用的回收方法。在评估用于废热回收的热电材料时,会考虑热电性能,特别是电导率、热功率、热导率和热电优值。合金和氧化物作为适用于中高品位热源的材料进行了简要讨论。电活性聚合物作为一类用于低品位热源的新型材料被提出。聚苯胺是特别适合这些用途的聚合物。我们还讨论了改性剂的类型和改性方法,以及它们对这类聚合物热电性能的影响。
