“…[2][3][4] Among these, thermoelectric power generation by reusing waste heat or using natural sources of heat shows considerable promise. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Improving thermoelectric conversion efficiency is crucial, hence much effort has been focused on the synthesis and characterization of thermoelectric materials with high thermoelectric gures of merit (ZT). 13 Compared to inorganic semiconductors, conducting polymers possess several advantages as thermoelectric materials, namely low thermal conductivity, high electrical conductivity, cost-effectiveness, mass production, facile synthesis, and wide-area processing.…”

“…We imagine a scenario where the CO cathode product is a precursor for other rocket fuels, such as methane, for returning to Earth, (33) and the O2 anode product is used to help support life (8). Thermoelectric generators can be easily connected in series or parallel to achieve higher voltages and current densities reported here, and they are being developed at larger scales to help realize these possibilities (34,35).…”

We report here a fully contained electrolyzer that drives the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with thermoelectric generators instead of a potentiostat. The thermoelectric generators generate the electricity required to drive electrolysis when the temperature difference between the two faces is at least 40 oC. We show that the temperature gradients that could exist at a geothermal plant are sufficient to drive the reduction of gaseous CO2 into CO in an electrochemical flow cell, creating an opportunity to use waste heat to help decarbonization and clean fuels production. We also show how the electrolyzer system may be relevant to the future colonization of Mars, where there are large temperature differentials and an atmosphere rich in CO2.

“…Energy representing the basic input of the production process is an essential element in improving the welfare level in societies and is used in almost every eld in daily life [5,6]. The renewable energy sources are inexpensive and everlasting and are achievable in many countries of the world [7,8]. In recent years, renewable generation, especially wind power and photovoltaic (PV) systems, has been increasingly used in power systems [9,10].…”

The aim of this study is to investigate how the Weibull Distribution Function (WDF) is compatible with the wind data in o shore regions. Many academic studies on wind energy have been conducted. Determining potential o shore wind energy and making investments in this area have gained further signi cance today. Although many studies have been made on wind energy, o shore wind energy has received less attention. The compatibility between wind data and WDF on land has been investigated by many academic studies, and the results have been evaluated. However, the compatibility of the o shore wind data with the WDF has not been investigated su ciently and there are steps to be taken in this regard. In this study, a point was selected in Iskenderun Gulf to examine the compatibility of o shore wind data with WDF function. This study determined both the wind energy potential of the selected region and made many contributions to the literature. Six di erent methods were used to determine the parameters of the WDF and then, their performance were evaluated in di erent statistical error analysis tests.
