The purpose of this literature review is to discuss the research progress and application prospects of high-efficiency thermoelectric conversion materials. In recent years, high-efficiency thermoelectric materials have garnered extensive attention due to their significant applications in waste heat recovery and energy conversion. This paper reviews various types of thermoelectric materials, including metal chalcogenides, silicides, and skutterudite materials, and analyzes their synthesis methods, properties, and advantages and disadvantages. The findings indicate that chemical vapor deposition (CVD), hydrothermal synthesis, and hot pressing are the primary methods for preparing thermoelectric materials, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Nevertheless, by optimizing the preparation processes and material compositions, high-efficiency thermoelectric materials are poised to play a crucial role in the field of sustainable energy in the future. This review summarizes the key findings of current research and suggests potential directions and challenges for future studies.
