본 연구에서는 신선식품의 품질유통 시스템 구축을 위하여 Peltier 효과를 기반으로 한 열전소자 배송시스템에 잠열재를 탑재한 이동식 저온 컨테이너를 농산물의 유통에 적용하고자 하였다. 실험 방법은 개발된 열전소자 배송시스템 및 개발잠열재를 이용한 이동식 저온 컨테이너에 저장 중 피망의 품질을 평가하여 대조구인 EPS 박스의 피망과 비교 평가하였다. 피망의 저장 중 품질측정 결과, 중량 감소량은 증가하였으나 수분함량은 저장기간동안 90.96~94.43% 수준을 유지하였다. 비타민 C 함량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 처리구(BPT-5, 10)의 경우 대조구(BPC)에 비해 감소율이 낮게 나타났다. 색도 측정 결과 ${\Delta}E$ 값은 저장기간동안 증가하였으며 21일 때 BPT-5의 ${\Delta}E$ 값은 5.05인데 반해 BPC의 값은 41.8로 크게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 총균수 또한 저장 21일째 대조구에 비해 BPT-5 처리구가 약 1 log scale 낮은 수준을 나타내어 연구에서 개발한 수배송 용기가 품질 유지에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 전체적인 결과를 종합하였을 때, 본 연구를 위하여 개발된 이동식 저온 컨테이너가 피망의 저장성 증가에 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 하지만 이동식 저온 컨테이너의 개발은 초기단계이며 잠열재의 무게로 인해 하중부담이 크다는 단점을 보완하기 위해 더 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Thermoelectric properties of $Sr_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ and $Ba_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ clathrates were investigated in the temperature range between 323K and 923K. Both clathrates were fabricated by the arc-melting method. Homogeneous single phases were observed in the annealed clathrates. Electrical resistivities for both clathrates were increased as the temperature increased up to 823K. The sign of the Seebeck coefficients for both clathrates was negative, which means that the major carriers were electrons. The maximum values of ZT for $Sr_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ and $Ba_8Ga_{16}Ge_{30}$ were 0.86 at 773K and 0.76 at 923K, respectively.

The effects of Al-substitution on thermoelectric and charge transport properties of BiCuOSe compounds were investigated. The compounds were prepared by a solid-state reaction and consolidated by SPS (spark plasma sintering). In spite of the increase in the hole concentration with increasing Al amounts in BiCuOSe compound, the electrical conductivity at room temperature was kept constant due to the reduction of mobility. However, electrical conductivities of Al-substituted BiCuOSe compounds at elevated temperature (> 600 K) were higher than those of BiCuOSe, and this result was discussed in terms of it's the band gap energy. The Seebeck coefficient was drastically reduced when Al was substituted in Bi site, which indicated that the electronic structure was influenced by the Al-substitution into Bi-site.

We researched about a bulk metallic glass system as an additive to an Ag paste for high temperature thermoelectric modules. Bulk metallic glass (BMG) ribbons were produced by using a rapid solidification process (RSP) under a cooling rate condition higher than $10^{\circ}C/sec$. We investigated BMG characteristics of the ribbons by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in order to evaluate the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and the recrystallization temperature ($T_x$) lower than $400^{\circ}C$. A milling process was also developed to apply the BMG ribbons to a commercial Al paste as an additive for lower sintering temperature.

Power factor improvement at high temperatures has been a major research topic for the development of skutterudite thermoelectric materials. Here, we attempted to optimize the process parameters for manufacturing skutterudite materials, especially for p-type systems. We focused on the effect of aging time variation to maximize the high-temperature performance of the Ce-filled Fe³CoSb¹² skutterudite system. The optimized aging time was concluded to be a key parameter for the formation of single-phase nanostructures in this p-type skutterudite system. The optimized condition was effective in reducing the bipolar effect at high temperature ranges by increasing the carrier concentration in the p-type system. To confirm the conclusions, the electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and power factor were measured. The results matched well with the microstructure and with those of an XRD analysis performed for the system.

The microstructural evolution of different compositions of Mg-Sn alloys (30%Sn-70%Mg, 40%Sn-60%Mg and 50%Sn-50%Mg) is studied at first to understand the changes observed with change in tin content and deformation conditions. The Mg₂Sn phase increases with increase in tin content and a significant substructure development is found in 50%Sn-50%Mg alloy. The above observation led to further deformation studies on Mg₂Sn based thermoelectric materials with higher tin percentage. The microstructure in terms of Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD)measurements is studied in detail followed by the determination of thermoelectric properties i.e., Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity for both as cast and extruded Mg_(2+x)Sn-Ag alloys. The electrical conductivity of the extruded Mg_(2+x)Sn-.3wt%Ag {x =1} alloy was found to be more than its as cast counterpart while the Seebeck coefficient values remained almost the same.

New PM route via bulk mechanical alloying is developed to fabricate the solid solution semi-conductive materials with $Mg_2Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ and $Mg_2Si_{1-y}Sn_y$ for 0 < x, y < 1 and to investigate their thermoelectric materials. Since $Mg_2Si$ is n-type and both $Mg_2Ge$ and $Mg_2Sn$ are p-type, pn-transition takes place at the specified range of germanium content, x, and tin content, y. Through optimization of chemical composition, solid-solution type thermoelectric semi-conductive materials are designed both for n-and p-type materials.

In this study, thermal-treatment-derived variations of the thermoelectric characteristics of ZnO nanofibers (NFs) are examined. NFs that were prepared by electrospinning were transformed into n-type ZnO NFs after they were exposed to thermal heating for 30 min at 550℃. For the ZnO NFs, the Seebeck coefficient decreased from - 132.1 μV/K to - 44.6 μV/K over the heating-time range of 30 min to 120 min, while the electrical conductivity increased from 2.07 × 10^-3 S/m to 0.18 S/m.
