New harvester for organic thermoelectric generators
Nowadays, with the incipient growth of the internet of things (IoT) and its applications, like wearable devices or wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the need for portable, robust and sustainable power sources that allow devices to work without external energy sources arises. Power consumption is a critical problem on these devices, limiting the device lifetime or… Read More »New harvester for organic thermoelectric generators

From thermoelectric materials to generators
Since its inception, the field of thermoelectric energy conversion has held great promise to convert heat to electrical power, using a technology that is free of moving parts and thereby silent and extremely durable. It is particularly promising for the recovery of waste heat that is all too abundant in modern society, as thermoelectric generators… Read More »From thermoelectric materials to generators
