Research progress of cement-based thermoelectric materials

Thermoelectric materials mainly refer to a new functional material prepared by doping and compounding one or more materials with thermoelectric properties. Due to the advantages of wide sources, low price, and stable supply, cement-based materials can be combined with thermoelectric materials to prepare high thermal/electric conversion efficiency cement-based thermoelectric materials, which can meet the requirements of national low-carbon emissions policies, as well as building energy-saving and sustainable development needs. This article systematically summarizes the current research status of cement-based thermoelectric materials at home and abroad and prospects their future development direction.
