Abstract
Thermoelectric materials have attained importance because of the gargantuan energy crisis the world faces today. A thermoelectric material can be used efficiently and frequently, provided, its figure of merit ZT is increased. Also, easy availability, manufacturing, and low cost are the other factors to be considered for a novel thermoelectric material. A theoretical model is proposed in this paper for the enhancement of the figure of merit of thermoelectric materials.
