- Additional information
- A 60% increment in efficiency of cost effective and non-toxic sulphide-based materials was achieved with a new percolation phenomenon - a direct outcome of a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship (PIIF-GA-2010-275223). This approach to sulphide-based thermoelectric materials was instrumental in the subsequent award of related EPSRC grants ("DEFCOM: Designing Eco-Friendly and COst-efficient energy Materials", EP/N022726/1 and EP/N02396X/1, £726k) supported by 5 industrial project partners (Dassault Group, European Thermodynamics, Johnson Matthey, Kennametal and nVIDIA) under EPSRC's initiative of developing new cost effective and eco-friendly materials.
