Sustainable energy sources and energy-harvesting technologies have been researched for decades. Thermoelectric conversion is currently one of the primary foci in this area. Thermoelectric research has been concentrated into two parts—(i) strategies to enhance the efficiency of existing thermoelectric materials and (ii) development of new materials with promising thermoelectric parameters. Although such strategies have led to the improvement of thermoelectric non-oxide-based materials, the limitations possessed by them does not allow to be used at high temperatures. Due to the same reason, oxide-based materials have gained much attention. Here, we discuss about the oxide thermoelectric materials in detail and the effect of texturization on their morphology and transport properties. There is a lot of scope available for such class of materials for high-temperature applications.

热电氧化物中的质构效应研究进展

可持续能源和能源收集技术已经研究了数十年。目前，热电转换是该领域的主要焦点之一。热电研究集中在两个部分中：（i）提高现有热电材料效率的策略，以及（ii）开发具有良好热电参数的新材料。尽管这样的策略已经导致了基于热电非氧化物的材料的改进，但是它们所具有的局限性不允许在高温下使用。由于相同的原因，氧化物基材料已经引起了广泛关注。在这里，我们详细讨论了氧化物热电材料以及组织化对其形态和传输性能的影响。
