AbstractThe looming impact of climate change and the diminishing supply of fossil fuels both highlight the need for a transition to more sustainable energy sources. While solar and wind can produce much of the energy needed, to meet all our energy demands there is a need for a diverse sustainable energy generation mix.

Thermoelectric degrees of freedom determining thermoelectric efficiency [PDF]
Thermal energy can be directly converted to electrical energy as a result of thermoelectric effects. Because this conversion realises clean energy technology, such as waste heat recovery and energy harvesting, substantial efforts have been made to search for thermoelectric materials.

Thermoelectric characterization of flexible micro-thermoelectric generators [PDF]
A new experimental setup for the characterization of flexible micro-thermoelectric generators is reported. The system can measure the power generated and the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of devices under mechanical stresses and deformations, in atmospheric environment and under vacuum, in the temperature interval 293 K–423 K, as a function of ...

On the thermoelectricity of correlated electrons in the zero-temperature limit [PDF]
The Seebeck coefficient of a metal is expected to display a linear temperature-dependence in the zero-temperature limit. To attain this regime, it is often necessary to cool the system well below 1K.

Thermodynamics of Thermoelectric Phenomena and Applications [PDF]
Fifty years ago, the optimization of thermoelectric devices was analyzed by considering the relation between optimal performances and local entropy production. Entropy is produced by the irreversible processes in thermoelectric devices.

Reversible Thermoelectric Nanomaterials
Irreversible effects in thermoelectric materials limit their efficiency and economy for applications in power generation and refrigeration. While electron transport is unavoidably irreversible in bulk materials, here we derive conditions under which reversible diffusive electron transport can be achieved in nanostructured thermoelectric materials via ...

Do thermoelectric generator modules degrade due to nickel diffusion
The author builds a strict diffusion theory of electrical contact resistance by studying the process of non-stationary diffusion of metal into the thermoelectric material, as a result of which a transition contact layer is formed.

Thermoelectric power source for electronic medical thermometer
At present chemical sources of electricity are used as power supplies for low-powered electronic equipment. Despite continuous quality improvement (CQI) of chemical sources of electricity they still have some critical faults, such as: relatively high ...
