Thermoelectric Research Laboratory
Pracownicy naszego Laboratorium na Kongresie Energetyki rozproszonej w Krakowie!
Pracownicy naszego Laboratorium Badań Termoelektrycznych mieli zaszczyt reprezentować Akademię Górniczo-Hutniczą im. Stanisława Staszica w Krakowie podczas III Kongresu Energetyki Rozproszonej! 💡⚡
Podczas wydarzenia zaprezentowali innowacyjne technologie termoelektryczne. Rozwiązania te mogą w przyszłości zrewolucjonizować sposób pozyskiwania i wykorzystywania energii. 🔥🔋
Udział w Kongresie to dla zespołu TRL nie tylko ogromne wyróżnienie, lecz także doskonała okazja do zaprezentowania najnowszych osiągnięć nauki i innowacji. 🌍💚
Razem z uczestnikami Kongresu budujemy przyszłość energetyki! 🚀
The main scientific activities of our interdisciplinary team concern both the basic research on chemistry and materials science of functional materials, as well as the engineering of thermoelectric devices i.e.: numerical modeling and design of new prototypical thermoelectric modules and generators based on our materials.

Research interest
1. New concepts of high-efficient thermoelectric materials linking synergic transport of heat and electricity, i.e.:
- New composites with attuned electronic structure and mismatched phonon structure (AES-MPS) concept;
- Double tunned – functionally graded thermoelectric materials (DT-FGTM).
2. Synthesis and characterization of new materials with specific electronic and crystal structures (e.g. skutterudites, argyrodites, tetrahedrites, silicides, rock-salt structure semiconductors, and other) for energy conversion.
3. Elastic inorganic-polymer composites for biosensors and microgenerators.
4. Hybrid and high-temperature ceramic materials for interconnectors and substrates of TE modules.
5. Numerical design and fabrication of high-efficient TE modules for cooling and power generation.
6. Design and development of prototypical devices for waste heat recovery and conversion of renewable energy.
