To assess the thermoelectric qualities of low-dimensional materials, a nanomaterial was created. Due to its inherent nanoscale structure, a one-dimensional thermoelectric material is predicted to have superior thermoelectric characteristics and low heat conductivity. High efficiency thermoelectric energy conversion devices can be realised by taking use of these better features. Graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), two-dimensional nanomaterials, are thermally efficient. Due to the differences in the crystal lattice and electrical structure between graphene and h-BN, a new material with novel thermal properties is created when the two join to produce a planar C-BN hybrid structure or a van der Waals heterostructure. We concentrate on these new qualities while reviewing the two new materials, as their thermal properties affect their structure, size, and number of layers. To assess the thermoelectric qualities of low-dimensional materials, a micro-instrument was created. Due to its inherent nanoscale structure, a one-dimensional thermoelectric material is predicted to have superior thermoelectric characteristics and low heat conductivity. High efficiency thermoelectric energy conversion devices can be realised by taking use of these better features. In this study, we used micromachining to create microdevices to examine the thermoelectric characteristics of low-dimensional materials. The system comprises of a tiny thermocouple with a freely suspended heating element acting as the sensing element. Manipulation was used to place an array of Bi2Te3 nanowires made using the silicon template approach on the microdevice. To show the device’s ability to assess the thermoelectric properties of nanomaterials, measurements of the Bi2Te3 bundle’s electrical, thermal, and Beck coefficients were made.

We offer a synthetic method for producing Cu2ZnGeSe4 nanocrystals with a limited size range and a predetermined composition. By hot pressing, these nanocrystals were employed to create nanomaterials that were tightly packed. These nanoparticles’ Cu2ZnGeSe4 thermoelectric characteristics have been demonstrated to be very good. A figure of merit of up to 0.55 at 450 °C has already been achieved through early refinement of the nanocrystal composition. The performance of thermoelectric (TE) materials is currently the subject of intense research. One of the suggestions for enhancing their TE performance is nanostructuring. However, a nanomaterial’s shape can have a big impact on how it behaves under tension. In this study, we showed that this action uses a microwave-assisted chemical pathway to create zinc oxide (ZnO) in two distinct forms. The molar ratios of the initial precursors were altered to create nanoparticles (NPs) and nanorods (NRs). According to the results, NRs have better TE properties than NPs, especially at higher temperatures.
