Abstract

In article number 1702024, Marisol Martin-Gonzalez and co-workers, fabricate Ag2Se films with a novel technique (pulsed reactive sputtering). The obtained films are state-of-the-art for this thermoelectric material in applications close to room temperature. This scalable technique and the good quality of the obtained films opens the door to develop a new generation of wearable devices powered by transforming human heat into electricity.
