Temperature Gradient Measurements by Using Thermoelectric Effect in CNTs-Silicone Adhesive Composite
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents the fabrication and investigation of thermoelectric cells based on composite of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and silicone adhesive. The composite contains CNT and silicon adhesive 1∶1 by weight. The current-voltage characteristics and dependences of voltage, current and Seebeck coefficient on the temperature gradient of cell were studied. It was observed that with increase in temperature gradient the open circuit voltage, short circuit current and the Seebeck coefficient of the cells increase. Approximately 7 times increase in temperature gradient increases the open circuit voltage and short circuit current up to 40 and 5 times, respectively. The simulation of experimental results is also carried out; the simulated results are well matched with experimental results.

متن کاملEnergy Storage and Generation from Thermopower Waves
The nonlinear coupling between an exothermic chemical reaction and a nanowire or nanotube with large axial heat conduction guides a self-propagating thermal wave along the nano-conduit. The thermal conduit accelerates the wave by rapidly transporting energy to un-reacted fuel. The reaction wave induces what we term a thermopower wave, resulting in an electrical cutrent in the same direction. At...
