Enhanced thermoelectric properties of carbon fiber reinforced cement composites

Thermoelectric properties of carbon fiber reinforced cement composites (CFRCs) have attracted relevant interest in recent years, due to their fascinating ability for harvesting ambient energy in urban areas and roads, and to the widespread use of cement-based materials in modern society. The enhanced effect of the thin pyrolytic carbon layer (formed at the carbon fiber/cement interface) on transport and thermoelectric properties of CFRCs has...
