Abstract:The idea of a small size, light weight, robust, scalable and standalone power generators has always been of great interest in personal and commercial transportation systems as well as military weapon systems. One potential source of portable power is electricity produced from heat sources through the use of thermoelectric materials. The heat can come from the combustion of fossil fuels, from sunlight, or as a byproduct of various processes (e.g. combustion, chemical reactions and nuclear decay) and in our case… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
