Advanced Materials, 2022 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]
iScience, 2021 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]
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2017 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 ...
