Printable Thermoelectric Device for Low Temperature Energy Harvesting
摘要
Thermoelectric (TE) devices and thermoelectro-galvanic (TEG) cells harvest energy by converting waste-heat (dissipative form of energy) into electrical energy (precious form with conveyable features). The combination of features like processability, flexibility, lightweight, nontoxicity, low thermal conductivity and high chemical stability in organic electric conductors make them novel palatable materials for thermal energy conversion.
