Thermoelectric Composites
Can the effective thermoelectric figure of merit of a composite material be higher than all its constituents, excluding the effects of size and interface? and how can we take advantages of the size and interfacial effects of composite materials to further enhance their thermoelectric figure of merit?

Effective Figure of Merit
Bergman et al (1991, 1999): The effective figure of merit of a composite can never exceed the largest value of figure of merit in any of its component, in the absence of size and interface effects.

Current State of Art
Graeme Milton (2002): There is a lot of confusion, particularly in the composite materials community, as to appropriate form of the thermoelectric equations.

Equivalency Principle
Under identical boundary conditions of temperature and electric potential, the composite and homogenized medium would have: (1) identical current density and (2) identical energy flux.

Concluding Remarks
Rigorous asymptotic analysis has been developed to predict the effective thermoelectric behaviors of composite materials, and preliminary results suggest that conversion efficiency higher than that of constituents is possible in composites
