Data for "Best Thermoelectric Efficiency of Ever-Explored Materials" by Ryu et al., using Starrydata2

Rawdata and post-processed datasets are provided for "Best Thermoelectric Efficiency of Ever-Explored Materials," which is published in an iScience article (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.106494). The dataset includes thermoelectric samples, related publication information, thermoelectric properties (TEPs) data with filter information, and the best thermoelectric materials and device efficiencies. Note that the material samples data were extracted from Starrydata2.org, with the rawdata version dated 2021-Nov-24th, and were then extensively investigated for material and device efficiencies. The materials' TEPs data have been filtered and cleaned. Using the TEPs in the cleaned dataset, the best efficiencies of material samples were calculated within one-dimensional thermoelectric leg models. In total, 100 million efficiencies were calculated for P-N leg pair devices across approximately 13 thousand ever-explored materials. Further details can be found in the related publication.
