High-entropy engineering has emerged as a powerful strategy to boost efficiency by maximizing phonon scattering, yet this compositional complexity can inadvertently degrade electronic properties and thus suppress output power. Here, we introduce “Designer Entropy”—a chemically guided paradigm that moves beyond maximizing disorder to achieve targeted transport properties by consciously selecting alloying elements. We demonstrate this principle by systematically contrasting two distinct pathways in a SnTe(GeSe)_0.25 matrix: doping with Sb (near-matched atomic radius) versus Bi (large radius/mass mismatch). While both pathways yield nearly identical high conversion efficiencies of ~5.7% at a temperature difference of 500 K, their power generation capabilities diverge significantly. The Sb-doped device, designed to preserve electronic transport, delivers a maximum output power of 23.1 mW, an ~20% enhancement over its Bi-doped counterpart. This non-equivalent optimization stems from a mechanistic dichotomy: Sb doping preserves high carrier mobility and suppresses bipolar effects, leading to a superior power factor, whereas Bi doping, despite inducing ultralow lattice thermal conductivity by creating strong local distortions, suffers from severe carrier scattering and a premature bipolar onset. Our work establishes a rational design framework that decouples the optimization of efficiency and power, providing a blueprint for developing next-generation TE materials that shift the focus from compositional complexity to compositional intelligence for high-power applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":100685,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Materials","volume":"5 2","pages":"259-273"},"PeriodicalIF":24.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/idm2.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SPI-TEG employs a wavelength-selective absorber at the hot side of a thermoelectric module to maximize solar-to-heat conversion, while a superhydrophilic cleanroom wiper placed at the cold side enables continuous seawater transport and efficient evaporative cooling. This configuration establishes a significant temperature difference for power generation and simultaneously reutilizes the dissipated heat for desalination.

Traditional carbon capture and storage (CCS) offers permanent sequestration for hard-to-abate sectors but faces challenges, including high costs, limited storage capacity, and the absence of direct revenue streams. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) addresses some of these barriers by converting CO₂ into value-added products, yet early CCU implementations treated capture and conversion as separate processes, increasing energy demand and operational complexity. As an emerging alternative, integrated carbon capture and utilization (ICCU) offers a promising solution by enabling the simultaneous capture and direct conversion of CO₂ into value-added chemicals, thereby eliminating the need for energy-intensive desorption and purification steps. This approach has recently garnered significant global attention for its potential to simplify process flows and enhance overall energy efficiency, especially in material design, process intensification, and techno-economic analysis. However, product-focused analyses remain limited. This review addresses this gap by categorizing the ICCU according to C₁ and C₂₊ products, linking catalytic strategies to industrial commodities, and identifying future research and deployment priorities to advance ICCU from laboratory innovation to commercial reality.
