Holger Kleinke's research focuses on optimizing new thermoelectric materials, which facilitate the conversion of heat to electrical energy and vice versa. The research aims to improve the efficiency of thermoelectrics used to recover electricity from abundant waste heat sources, such as automotive exhaust. Recent projects explore the impact of copper ion mobility on thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials, as localized ion mobility inhibits migration that could degrade device performance. Kleinke’s group routinely measures thermoelectric properties, including thermopower and thermal conductivity, guiding synthesis through theoretical calculations. His work encompasses various aspects of inorganic materials, solid-state chemistry, and advanced energy conversion technologies.
