Organic thermoelectric device can harvest energy at room temperature
Researchers have succeeded in developing a framework for organic thermoelectric power generation from ambient temperature and without a temperature gradient
Such devices have been a significant focus of research and development for their potential utility in harvesting waste heat from other energy-generating methods. The optimized device had an open-circuit voltage of 384 mV, a short-circuit current density of 1.1 μA/cm 2, and a maximum output of 94 nW/cm 2. We can even likely achieve a higher current density if we increase the device’s area, which is unusual even for organic materials.
