چکیده
Thermoelectric Generators In article number 2204171, Jeonghun Kwak, Heesuk Kim, Seungjun Chung, and co-workers demonstrate all-printed 3D compliant thermoelectric generators (TEGs) through out-of-plane printing of viscoelastic carbon nanotubes-based inks. It paves a promising pathway to realize highly efficient TEGs with high degree design freedom for self-powered flexible and/or wearable applications.

متن کاملEfficiency of Inhomogeneous Thermoelectric Generators
We revisit the classical problem of the efficiency of inhomogeneous thermoelectric generators. The effects of different physical parameters on the efficiency of a generator are studied by solving the Domenicali’s equation numerically. It is found that the efficiency of a thermoelectric generator is insensitive to both the electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. However, the efficiency ...
متن کاملDispenser Printed Thermoelectric Energy Generators
Thermoelectric energy generators are attractive as potential energy harvesters for converting waste thermal energy into electrical power. Optimized thermoelectric device designs require 100-200 μm element thicknesses currently unachievable with common manufacturing technologies. This work presents both a unique direct-write dispenser printing technique and novel polymer-composite thermoelectric...
متن کاملRelationship between thermoelectric figure of merit and energy conversion efficiency.
The formula for maximum efficiency (ηmax) of heat conversion into electricity by a thermoelectric device in terms of the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) has been widely used to assess the desirability of thermoelectric materials for devices. Unfortunately, the ηmax values vary greatly depending on how the average ZT values are used, raising questions about the applicability of ZT in the case...
متن کاملDirect laser writing of 3D architectures of aligned carbon nanotubes.
Direct laser writing through two-photon polymerization lithography is used to fabricate 3D nanostructures containing aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). SWCNTs are aligned in the laser scanning directions while they are embedded in the structure. The alignment is induced by spatial confinement, volume shrinkage, and the optical gradient force. This method is expected to lead to new a...
