Dependence of thermal conductivity and energy density on the amount of crystalline γ-phase and γ-crystallite size of PVDF in Fe-rGO/PVDF nanocomposites has been explored.
The thermal conductivity of CuNi alloys grown by pulsed electrodeposition is reduced by the nanostructuration to a value of 9.0 ± 0.9 W m−1 K−1 due to the incorporation of saccharine in the electrolyte which allowed reduction of the crystallite size.
The thermoelectric performance of CuCrO2 with different particle size and morphology is influenced more by electrical resistivity than thermal conductivity.
