High seebeck coefficient thermo-electrochemical cell using nickel hollow microspheres electrodes

Double-network thermocells with extraordinary toughness and boosted power density for continuous heat harvesting

“…Other electrode materials have also been discussed in many studies. These include activated carbon textiles, 39,40 free-standing carbon-based materials, 41,42 multiwall carbon nanotube foams, 43 nickel hollow microspheres, 44 and surface-modified carbon fibers. 45 The large electroactive surface area of porous electrodes enables rapid diffusion of the electrolyte and results in an increase in exchange current density between the electrode and the electrolyte.…”

Organic solvent-based thermo-electrochemical cells with an iron(ii/iii) triflate redox couple for use in harvesting low-grade waste heat at 100–200 °C

“…12,[22][23][24] Some studies have focused on improving performance by using electrodes with a large specic surface area, but this was not the focus of the present work. [25][26][27][28][29][30] The molecular structures of the selected organic solvents are shown in Fig. 1, and various properties are listed in Table 1.…”

Flexible N-Type Thermoelectric Composites Based on Non-Conductive Polymer with Innovative Bi2Se3-CNT Hybrid Nanostructured Filler

“…Besides already known chalcogenides properties of the p- and n-type conducting thermoelectric materials may be improved with various metallic [ 6 ], metal oxide [ 7 ] as well as carbon based materials like graphene [ 8 ], carbon fibers [ 9 ] and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [ 10 , 11 ]. In CNT based polymer-CNT composite materials the CNTs within the polymer matrix form electrically but not thermally conductive networks, thus improving thermoelectrical ZT of the composite, as well as their thermal stability and mechanical properties [ 12 , 13 ].…”
