1. 1. Screen Printed Thermoelectric Devices

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

3. 2. Thermoelectric Devices with Electronic and Ionic Conducting Polymers

   Författare :Zia Ullah; Xavier Crispin; Magnus Berggren; Marisol Martin-Gonzalez; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermoelectricity; conducting polymers; thermoelectric devices;

   Sammanfattning : The energy consumption in the world is continuously growing and the sources of energy are largely dominated by fossil fuels. However, the resources of oil, gas and coal are diminishing in capacity. Moreover the CO2 emissions arising from their combustion is a great concern because it induces climate changes that threaten our habitat. LÄS MER

4. 3. Thermoelectric properties of conducting polymers

   Författare :Olga Bubnova; Xavier Crispin; Magnus Berggren; Alan Kaiser; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Thermoelectric generation; Seebeck coefficient; conducting polymers; thermoelectric efficiency.;

   Sammanfattning : According to different sources, from forty to sixty percent of the overall energy generated in the world today is squandered in waste heat. The existing energy conversion technologies are either close to their efficiency limits or too costly to justify their implementation. LÄS MER

5. 4. Synthesis, Electrophoretic Deposition, and Characterization of Nanostructured Thermoelectric Materials

   Författare :Hazal Batili; Muhammet Toprak; Oliver Fenwick; KTH; []

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

7. 5. Electrochemical Deposition and Characterization of Thermoelectric Thin Films of Bismuth Telluride and Its Derivatives

   Författare :Yi Ma; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; efficiency; deposition mechanism; thermoelectric properties; Thermoelectric; thin films; bismuth telluride and its derivatives; nano-engineering; electrochemical deposition;

   Sammanfattning : Thermoelectric materials have attracted enormous academic and industrial interest recently due to the fact that they can be used in solid state devices for power generation and cooling applications. It is expected that such thermoelectric applications will eventually contribute to meet the energy challenge in the future if the performance of the current devices can be further promoted through an increase in thermoelectric efficiency of the materials.
