Size-Sensitive Thermoelectric Properties of Electrolyte-Based Nanofluidic Systems

Abstract: In this work, we investigate the thermoelectric properties of aqueous KCl solutions confined in graphene nanochannels through molecular dynamics simulations. The channel height H ranges from 0.7 to 7.8 nm. It is found that the Seebeck coefficient, S e , and the figure of merit, ZT, of the KCl solution are highly sensitive to H when H is small. For the nanochannel of H = 1.0 nm, S e = 30.6 mV/K and ZT = 4.6 at room temperature, which are superior to most of the solid-state thermoelectric materials. The remar… Show more

“…To effectively monitor the insulation state of the photoelectric composite submarine cable, this paper takes the common AC submarine cable in the power system as an example and divides the relative dielectric constant under its insulation state, by using the relative dielectric constant under different values to judge the insulation state of the submarine cable, the specific division results are shown in Table 3.1 [5].…”

“…This study improves the fundamental understanding of the thermoelectricity of electrolytes in nanochannels and provides theoretical guidance for related energy-harvesting and temperature-sensing application. In the future, (nonequilibrium) molecular dynamics simulation , (Section S7, Supporting Information) can be carried out to provide more insight into the microscopic picture of ionic thermoelectricity in nanochannels.…”
