In recent years, slight improvements through the use of complex crystalline structures and nano arrays have renewed interest in thermoelectrics, however, their performance is still orders of magnitude below that required to replace current heat engine power sources. Alternatively, one potential solution is to consider using thermoelectrics in low powered applications where their efficiencies are comparable to those of standard heat engines, and where the use of heat engines is physically impractical. en Wake Forest University carbon nanotube electrical conductivity polymer thermoelectric power LOW DIMENSIONAL CARBON BASED ORGANIC THERMOELECTRIC COMPOSITES: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND PERFORMANCE Dissertation Carroll, David L Lachgar, Abdessadek Anderson, Paul R Jurchescu, Oana D Macosko, Jed C Physics 2014-7-15 open.access
