DESCRIPTION:Prof. Hugh Middleton\, University of Agder (UiA)\, Faculty of 
 Engineering Science\, Grimstad\, Norway\nChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Re
 search seminar series\n\nThermoelectric generators are attracting global a
 ttention for harvesting waste heat and converting directly to electricity 
 with few moving parts. There is a clear need both in the process industry 
 and in the transport sector to save energy and thermoelectrics are emergin
 g as a viable solution for some applications. The main challenge is to fin
 d new materials that can convert with high efficiency and at the same time
  withstand the harsh environments they are subjected to and to be cost eff
 ective for mass production. This presentation will examine these and other
  aspects from a materials research perspective.
