Thermoelectric devices generate electricity from heat energy. Both devices have found their way into various applications, from photovoltaic roof panels to thermoelectric energy recovery in vehicles. Both methods of electrical generation are fairly inefficient, but now, by combining these two properties, researchers at University of […]
