Balachandran's Research Group Uncovers Low Thermal Conductivity Behavior of Novel Thermoelectric Materials
Thermoelectric materials have been of great interest for a number of decades due to their ability to generate power, such as recycling of waste heat. Prasanna Balachandran, assistant professor of materials science and engineering and mechanical and aerospace engineering, is conducting research to deepen theoretical knowledge about polar thermoelectric materials for energy conversion technologies.Balachandran's research focuses on a polycrystalline material known by its chemical formula Ag2GeS3, which is also metastable at ambient conditions.
