Flexible thermo-electrochemical cells using Iodolyte HI-30 for conversion of low-grade heat to electrical energy
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this research work, we investigated the flexible thermo-electro chemical cells (TECs) for the conversion of low-grade heat into electrical energy in the temperature range of 20–70 °C. The TECs were fabricated using 30 ...
