New thermogalvanic tech paves way for more efficient fridges
Researchers have developed a technology that they say could make more efficient and eco-friendly refrigerators.
It’s theoretically possible to reverse this reaction – using electricity to remove heat – but until now, researchers have struggled to make it work well enough to be useable. “Though our advanced electrolyte is commercially viable, further efforts in the system-level design, scalability, and stability are required to promote the practical application of this technology,” says Duan. “We are also attempting to develop diverse refrigerator prototypes towards potential application scenarios and are seeking to collaborate with innovation companies to promote commercialization of thermogalvanic technologies.”
