The growing global demand for clean, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions has positioned thermoelectric energy conversion at the forefront of advanced energy research. Thermoelectric materials, capable of directly and reversibly converting heat into electricity without any moving parts, offer a promising pathway for applications in both power generation and cooling technologies.

This themed collection aims to highlight recent advancements in the development and application of high-performance thermoelectric materials. Contributions will explore a broad spectrum of research, including the synthesis of novel compounds, the correlation between chemical bonding and structural features, structure-property relationships, and strategies for enhancing material efficiency.

The scope extends to both fundamental scientific studies and applied technological innovations, including but not limited to:

• Theoretical and computational modelling of thermoelectric materials and properties
• Design and synthesis of novel thermoelectric materials (e.g., chalcogenides, oxides, skutterudites, and organic thermoelectrics)
• Nanostructuring and interface engineering for enhanced thermoelectric performance
• High-throughput screening and ML/AI approaches for thermoelectric material design, discovery and property prediction 
• Advanced characterization techniques for probing thermoelectric properties
• Optimization of transport properties (e.g., Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity)
• Phonon engineered high-performance thermoelectrics 
• Development of thermoelectric devices and modules for power generation and cooling
• Flexible and wearable thermoelectric systems
• Applications in waste heat recovery, renewable energy, and thermal management
• Sustainability and scalability of thermoelectric materials and technologies 

By addressing the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field, this collection seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for fostering innovation and guiding the next generation of thermoelectric technologies.
