The efficiency of thermal-to-electrical conversion depends on high electrical conductivity (σ), high Seebeck coefficient (S=ΔV⁄ΔT), and low thermal conductivity (κ). Radioisotope thermoelectric generators in spacecraft require high-temperature thermoelectric materials like oxides, SiGe, and half-Heu...
