To convert heat into electricity, easily accessible materials from harmless raw materials open up new perspectives in the development of safe and inexpensive so-called thermoelectric materials. A .
Waste heat is a very promising source of energy conservation and reuse, by means of converting this heat into electricity a process called thermoelectric conversion. Commercially available thermoe .
Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new concept to convert thermal energy into electrical energy more efficiently. Energy losses can thus be minimised.
A lot of heat gets lost during the conv .
