The project focuses on developing advanced thermoelectric generators that convert low-grade heat into renewable electricity and green hydrogen. By utilizing new, cost-effective, and non-toxic semiconductor materials, the project aims to enhance efficiency and broaden applications in industries and geothermal energy.
Heat-to-power conversion can be achieved by thermoelectric generators (TEGs), devices that exploit the Seebeck effect to build up an electric potential across a stack of semiconductors subjected to a temperature difference.
This physical effect has long been known, but widespread application has remained limited because of the low efficiency (less than 5%) and high cost of available semiconductors, often containing rare metals and featuring high toxicity and poor thermal stability.
