“…Electrical and thermal contacts are known to play an important key role in improving the device-manufacturing factor (MF). MF represents the cumulative influence of various parameters in the fabrication process on the quality of the devices, and it is defined as MF = R id /R in [8]. In the present research, MF at ΔT of 184 K reached 22.3% and 21.5% for D1 and D2, respectively, which could be attributed to the value of the Rc as previously mentioned.…”

This study reports on the fabrication of a chalcogenbased thermoelectric power generation (TEG) device using p-type Bi 0.4 Sb 1.6 Se 2.4 Te 0.6 and n-type Bi 2 Se 0.6 Te 2.4 legs. Electrical power generation characteristics were monitored by changing both the temperature conditions and the number of p-n couples required to generate maximum power. The significance of the resistances, including the internal resistance (R in ) and contact resistance (R c ) between legs and electrodes, are discussed. The maximum open circuit voltage (V oc ) and output power (P max ) obtained with the 18 p-n couples device were 1480.5 mV and 273.2 mW, respectively, under the thermal condition of T H =523 K hot-side temperature and ΔT = 184 K temperature difference.

“…It is lower than that calculated S-T curves of both p-and n-type legs (V calculated = (S p -S n ) × ΔT × n, where n is the number of couples). This voltage loss could have originated from many factors including low thermal conductivity of alumina substrate and unfavorable junctions between the TE legs and the electrodes[8]. I-P curves illustrated in Figs.…”

“…Krzysztof Tomasz adopted Ni, Mo and Cr 80 Si 20 as the barrier layer in the SKD-Cu junctions, but the mismatched coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) led to a potential mechanical problem [15]. Zhao et al reported the SKD-metal junctions, in which the electrode was made of Mo-Cu or W-Cu alloy and was jointed to SKD using Ti as the diffusion barrier [16,17]. Zhao's study showed considerable interfacial diffusion at the Ti/CoSb 3 interface during durability investigations.…”

“…The power level can be achieved through integration of a large number of TE devices, the efficiency is determined by temperature differential and by a dimensionless figure of merit ZT. ZT is characterized by several material parameters such as the Seebeck coefficient (S), thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity (Mao, Liu, & Ren, 2016;Zhao et al, 2010). The total power output equals to the total heat input multiplied by the efficiency.…”

This paper presents systematic studies of the renewabale energy [RE] technologies and focuses on thermoelectric (TE) technology. The invention of a new equipment is applied to thermoelectric modules (TEM) and demonstrates important capabilities such as in-situ characterization of I-V curve, P-V curves, and TE efficiency. Many variales are invetsigated in order to maximize the output of TE power. Experimental data show that the TE power output is scalable/ additive for multiple TE systems. Multi-stack structures are invetsigated in order to improve the TE efficiency. One of the hightlights of this paper is to generate a large output of TEPG system up to 1kW power. The TE technology is one of the most important RE technologies that has advantages of being renewable, possessing low-noise/ no-moving parts among other features, and having versatile and special applications with TEM. Several sets of the thermoelectric power generation (TEPG) systems are developed with various TEMs for many different applications. Finally, the TEPG is characterized for the experimental investigation and data analysis, followed by summaries and conclusion based on the data.
