The Design of a Thermoelectric Generator and Its Medical Applications

Abstract: Growing energy demands are driving people to generate power in every possible way. New energy sources are needed to plug the energy gap. There is a growing interest in distributed energy generation due to its remarkable advantages such as flexibility, reliability, adaptability and minimal transmission losses. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are one such distributed power source that relies on thermal energy for electricity generation. The current review focusses on the design and optimization of TEGs to maxim… Show more

“…By comparing (6) and (5) for equal voltage parameters and assuming identical coefficients for the NMOS and PMOS transistors, we find that the numerator of (6) is slightly lower than that of (5), while the denominator of (6) is at least 4 times lower than that of (5); hence, we find that the value predicted by (6) is about four times greater than the value given by (5).…”

“…Unlike TE materials, where a universal quantity ZT could be a good performance indicator, device consideration requires a holistic approach. The various fabrication process of thermoelectric materials was compiled by Mohan [13] as categorized into seven different types. i.e., template-assisted electrodeposition, The on-film formation of nanowires method, hydrothermal synthesis, galvanic displacement method, Lithography, Vapor liquid solid growth and electroless etching method.…”

“…2 The TEGs can be applied in many areas, for example, space exploration, automobiles, ships, locomotives, buildings, decentralised domestic power and microelectronics, etc. 5,6,[9][10][11] Additionally, such a generator can also be used to power a light or a radio, charge a mobile phone, or meet other requirements.…”
