New Thermoelectric Material
July 31st, 2008 by john
CleanTechnica reports that scientists have invented a new material capable of generating electricity from heat.
The material they invented is tellurium-doped lead telluride, and it is twice as efficient as the second most efficient material used in thermoelectric power. It also generates electricity directly, unlike other thermoelectric solutions which use a fluid to collect the heat.
