  2. 1. Screen Printed Thermoelectric Devices

    Author : Andreas Willfahrt; Xavier Crispin; Werner Zapka; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Screen printing; thermoelectric generator; Seebeck effect; energy harvesting;

    Abstract : Thermoelectric generators (TEG) directly convert heat energy into electrical energy. The impediments as to why this technology has not yet found extensive application are the low conversion efficiency and high costs per watt. On the one hand, the manufacturing process is a cost factor. READ MORE

    Abstract : The world’s increasing demand for energy and supplying this energy dominantlyfrom fossil fuels has a major impact on global climate change. Theenergy crisis has gotten more alarming in the recent years which increasedthe motivation for replacing fossil fuels with greener routes for energy harvest. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synthesis and Characterization of New Inorganic Thermoelectric Materials

    Author : Daniel Cederkrantz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermal conductivity.; Ba8Ga16Ge30; Seebeck coefficient; nanoinclusions; Thermoelectricity; waste heat recovery; clathrates; thermal stability; electrical resistance; Mg2Si; substitution; semiconductors;

    Abstract : With thermoelectric materials it is possible to convert a difference in temperature into electrical energy. This can be utilized for a more efficient use of available energy, eg. by converting waste heat from a combustion process. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structure-property investigation of ZnSb, ZnAs, and SiB3 : - binary semiconductors with electron poor framework structures

    Abstract : In today’s society, where energy conservation and green energy are buzz words, new scientific discoveries in green energy harvesting is key. This work focuses on materials capable of recycling low value thermal energy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Growth and thermoelectric properties of CaMnO3-based thin films

    Author : Erik Ekström; Per Eklund; Fredrik Eriksson; Biplab Paul; Erik Lewin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The field of them1oelectrics started in early 19th century. Since the discovery of the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect, thermoelectric modules have found their way into, mostly, niche applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators on space missions. READ MORE
