“…By adjusting its composition, PbTe can be either an n-(Pb rich PbTe) or a p-type (Te rich PbTe) semiconductor. [263] Zhang et al [264] proposed the fabrication of PbTe thermoelectric hollow nanofibers by means of a galvanic displacement process carried out onto sacrificial cobalt nanofibers. First, the cobalt nanofibers were obtained from ESP a solution containing cobalt, citric acid, and PVP followed by calcination.…”

The recent burst of research on smart materials is a clear evidence of the growing interest of the scientific community, industry, and society in the field.The exploitation of the great potential of stimuli-responsive materials for sensing, actuation, logic, and control applications is favored and supported by new manufacturing technologies, such as electrospinning, that allows to endow smart materials with micro-and nanostructuration, thus opening up additional and unprecedented prospects. In this wide and lively scenario, this article systematically reviews the current advances in the development of thermoactive electrospun fibers and textiles, sorting them, according to their response to the thermal stimulus. Hence, several platforms including thermoresponsive systems, shape memory polymers, thermo-optically responsive systems, phase change materials, thermoelectric materials, and pyroelectric materials, are described and critically discussed. The difference in active species and outputs of the aforementioned categories is highlighted, evidencing the transversal nature of temperature stimulus. Moreover, the potential of novel thermoactive materials are pointed out, revealing how their development could take to utmost interesting achievements.

“…The content of Ag ion led to the enhancement of TE properties in the Ag x Te y -PbTe 1D nanocomposite mats, which showed the highest value of S of 433 μV K −1 at 300 K when the remained Ag content was 30%. Zhang et al also fabricated PbTe hollow nanofiber mats through combining electrospinning, followed by galvanic displacement reactions using electrospun cobalt nanofibers as the sacrificial material [164]. Through tuning the diameter of the sacrificial cobalt nanofibers as well as the electrolyte concentrations in the galvanic displacement reactions, PbTe hollow nanofibers with various dimensions, surface morphologies 1 3 and compositions were synthesized, demonstrating that both the quantum confinement and surface scattering effects displayed an additional degree of control over the TE properties within such polycrystalline tubular nanostructures.…”

The recent advancements in thermoelectric materials are largely credited to two factors, namely established physical theories and advanced materials engineering methods. The developments in the physical theories have come a long way from the “phonon glass electron crystal” paradigm to the more recent band convergence and nanostructuring, which consequently results in drastic improvement in the thermoelectric figure of merit value. On the other hand, the progresses in materials fabrication methods and processing technologies have enabled the discovery of new physical mechanisms, hence further facilitating the emergence of high-performance thermoelectric materials. In recent years, many comprehensive review articles are focused on various aspects of thermoelectrics ranging from thermoelectric materials, physical mechanisms and materials process techniques in particular with emphasis on solid state reactions. While bottom-up approaches to obtain thermoelectric materials have widely been employed in thermoelectrics, comprehensive reviews on summarizing such methods are still rare. In this review, we will outline a variety of bottom-up strategies for preparing high-performance thermoelectric materials. In addition, state-of-art, challenges and future opportunities in this domain will be commented.

“…41 Meanwhile, inorganic fibres, such as NaCo 2 O 4 , 42 Mg 2 Si, 43 and PbTe (Fig. 4b), 44 were successfully fabricated with some flexibility. In thermoelectric fibres, grain boundaries and interfaces can also scatter phonons, thereby lowering the thermal conductivity and optimizing the transport properties of the fibres.…”
