Thermoelectric Solar Panels

Thermoelectric materials such as a bismuth antimony telluride composite seem to be the future of cheaper and 40% more efficient products in delivering clean energy from the sun and clean energy for cars. Solar panels and car exhaust pipes that use waste heat for electrical power could benefit from the new technique researchers at MIT and Boston College developed by creating random crystal lattices that interrupt the flow of heat. Thus, reducing the heat loss in this new material.
