متن کاملHeat collection and supply of interconnected netlike graphene/polyethyleneglycol composites for thermoelectric devices.
The key challenges in thermoelectric power conversion are creating a significant temperature difference and obtaining more heat energy through a thermoelectric device. Herein, graphene/polyethyleneglycol composites (G-PEGs) were proposed as a heat supply for thermoelectric devices. The G-PEGs not only afford a lot of conductive pathways for heat transfer but also act as highly thermally conduct...
