| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) / carbon nanotube (CNT) thermoelectric nanofillers for use as a flexible thermoelectric material were successfully synthesized through the combined processes of the (1) sol-gel method, (2) magnesiothermic reduction, and (3) liquid-solid phase reaction. In the resulting product, each CNT was coated with Mg2Si which was an approximately 60 nm-thick single crystal. The synthesized Mg2Si/CNT thermoelectric nanofillers exhibited n-type thermoelectric behavior．
