"In the world around us, it is easy to think in different situations in which there are temperature gradients available. These could be converted into a great source of energy if using the proper technology. Thermoelectric devices are environmentally friendly solid-state harvesters able to play this role by converting temperature differences into an electric voltage and vice-versa. These devices, besides being highly reliable since they have no moving parts, if engineered and fabricated in a shape-adaptable manner, are able to fit in countless industrial or domestic applications to improve their efficiency or power low-consumption devices like sensors. If, on top of it, the whole fabrication process is cost-effective and easily scalable, the outcoming thermoelectric devices could potentially reach numerous markets banned to date due to a mix of low efficiencies and high prices of the currently existing solutions. The first milestone towards cost-effective thermoelectric devices relies on the improvement of the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the constituents materials. However, such improvement cannot be at all costs. New materials with significant improved performance need to be designed and engineered with relatively low production cost. In this framework, solution-processed techniques are an outstanding alternative for the production of thermoelectric materials and devices. In particular, the bottom-up assembly of colloidal nanoparticles, with controlled size, shape, crystal phase and composition, has no competing technology to precisely design functional metamaterials without the need of a high capital equipment or complex procedures, not only for thermoelectrics, but also for a wide range of applications. Nevertheless, some limitations still need to be overcome to exploit the full potential of solution-processed assembly technologies, and two different challenges should be addressed. The first one is regarding materials efficiency enhancement, and the second one to the device development itself. In this work, we undertake a journey from the material development to the engineering of the final device. The thesis is structured in 5 chapters, starting from the Chapter 0 or General Introduction that intends to situate the reader into the broader context of the technology and present the main objectives of the work. Chapter 1 presents a general view of the solution-processed route for the development of bottom-up engineered nanoparticle-based thermoelectric nanomaterials and devices. It is an extended and comprehensive text where main concepts, challenges, advantages and opportunities that the technology offers are exposed. Chapter 2 is built around 3 publications that cover the three different steps of the solution-processed nanomaterials preparation, and how the efficiency can be enhanced within each one. First article is focused on the synthesis stage, and presents the production of core-shell nanoparticles as a way to design nanocomposites. The second one is related to the purification step, showing how, taking advantage of the nanoparticle surface, an HCl-mediated ligand displacement is able to introduce controlled amounts of dopants in the nanoparticle. Last one, is focused on the final assembly phase, in which by properly assembling two different kinds of nanoparticles, a semiconductor and a metal, the efficiency could be greatly enhanced. In Chapter 3 a step is made towards the production of a ring-shape device, taking PbSe as a model material. These results have been submitted for their publication. Chapter 4, presents the integration of a thermoelectric device together with a nanoparticle-based temperature sensor. This integrated assembly, including an ultra-low-power electronic management, was implemented as an autonomous soil moisture sensor, and shows the great opportunity that both solution-processed techniques and thermoelectrics technology offer for the development of new applications. Finally, some conclusions over the presented project and future work are listed." -- TDX.

The field of thermoelectricity has continued to develop rapidly in recent years and remains one of the most exciting areas of research for a materials physicist. The need for sustainable energy has added a technological momentum to the challenge of devising materials with exceptional properties such as low thermal conductivity, high electrical conductivity and a large Seebeck coefficient, and has triggered a global, interdisciplinary effort. More recently, research on thermoelectric materials has promoted and motivated a major research endeavor to clarify the factors affecting thermal conductivity in nanostructures as part of a more general effort to apply nanotechnology to enhance the performance of thermoelectric materials for use in thermoelectric generators and coolers. This book contains the lectures presented as Course 207 of the International School of Physics Enrico Fermi, Advances in Thermoelectricity: Foundational Issues, Materials, and Nanotechnology, held in Varenna, Italy from 15 – 20 July 2019. This comprehensive course aimed to provide students with a modern vision of the physics of thermoelectric phenomena, starting from the thermodynamics of thermoelectricity and from the physics of transport processes and demonstrating how material structure and nanostructure, together with defects, have been used to tailor the physical properties of advanced thermoelectrics. Special attention was also given to areas of current research – from spin-caloritronics to charge transport in polymers – and to a selected number of applications for heat recovery. Encompassing the full complexity of modern thermoelectricity and covering the most cogent themes relevant to current research, the book will be of interest to all those working in the field.
