A π-type Thermoelectric Generator Wrapped with Doped Single-walled Carbon Nanotube Sheets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 January 2019
Abstract
The upcoming IoT society requires portable energy harvesters including thermoelectric generators around room temperature. Here we show a prototype, lightweight thermoelectric generator based on doped single-walled carbon nanotubes. The generator is fabricated by the standard printing and cut-and-paste techniques. The 12 cm-scale generator with a commercial DC-DC converter exhibits thermoelectric outputs high enough to drive small devices such as a light-emitting diode (LED). We believe such demonstration facilitates the studies not only of further improvements in the thermoelectric properties of carbon nanotube materials but also of the novel design for thermoelectric generators on the basis of thermal engineering.
