An Advancement in Efficient Low-Grade Waste Heat Conversion Systems
Our research team details an efficient low-grade waste heat conversion system in Nature Communications . In the study, we introduced a new ionic thermoelectric cycle system designed for efficient conversion of low-grade waste heat. The device employs a chemical-infused gel that possesses self-regenerative capabilities, ensuring consistent performance between 10°C and 60°C. It offers efficient electricity production, effective energy storage, and long-term stability. The techn
