Abstract
In this article, we comprehensively reviewed the thermoelectric proper-ties of skutterudites-based materials. We discussed the various synthesis methods like non-chemical and chemical methods for the synthesis of the skutterudites materials for thermoelectric applications. In particular, this review articles also consolidates the information on how the filler plays a crucial role in improving the thermoelectric performance of the skutterudites materials. In addition, this review also concentrates on diverse fabrication methods employed in the production of skutterudites to optimize their thermoelectric performance. It also elucidates the efficiency of devices based on skutterudite materials and discusses the applications of thermoelectric devices.
