maximum of power factor, thermoelectric moduleAbstract
The goal of this article is to assess of the maximum values of the important thermoelectric parameter of materials - the power factor. Based on the formulas known from the literature that interconnect the thermoelectric parameters (effective mass and mobility of charge carriers, the Seebeck coefficient, temperature), the function of the specified coefficient is obtained. Its processing allows the obtained data to be used for the analysis of experimental data of those works in which, for certain reasons, the extrema of the specified thermoelectric parameters are not given.
