This explains how the team managed to enhance the thermoelectric performance of their 3D-printed materials while also shedding new light on the transport properties of porous materials.

The thermoelectric effects arise because charge carriers in metals and semiconductors are free to move much like gas molecules, while carrying charge as well as heat. When a temperature gradient ...

Thermoelectric coolers, also called solid-state refrigerators, can induce localized cooling by using an electric current to transfer heat from one side of the device to another. Their long ...

For optimal use, thermoelectric (TE) materials and modules must be adapted to the requirements of the system where they are integrated. Depending on the temperature range of the application, a ...

A group of researchers from South Africa's Central University of Technology has designed a solar module integrating a cooling system relying on a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). TECs can convert heat ...

The basic thermoelectric energy conversion unit consists of two different (one n-type and one p-type) semiconducting materials connected together as a thermocouple.

The EV Thermal System Market is projected to grow from USD 5.2 billion in 2025 to USD 15.6 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 11.3 ...

Anyone who has left their car windows open during a rainstorm will tell you the best way to dry the upholstery is to crank the AC and close the windows. A couple of hours later, presto — dry seats.
