Effect of diatomaceous earth on thermoelectric elements using multi-walled carbon nanotubes
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Thermoelectric power generation is one of the expected new renewable energy in the future. However, the power generation capacity of thermoelectric devices is poor. In this research, we focused on utilizing diatomaceous earth to improve the performance of thermoelectric devices because it has low thermal conductivity. Our thermoelectric devices based on multi-walled carbon nanotube and diatomaceous earth have improved the open-circuit voltage about 30% compared with the conventional thermoelectric devices based on multi-walled carbon nanotube only.
