Extracting thermoelectric parameters from hierarchically designed thinner Peltier sheets

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: To respond to the growing extreme heatwaves, we have adapted a multi-component strategy on thermoelectrics (TEs) to enlarge the cooling area and slim the weight of Peltier devices. We design the sticky TE complexes to be deformable and encapsulated within electrodes and foam sheets, facilitating a roll-to-roll production process. However, due to their deformability, we are unable to obtain their TE parameters based on the analytic tradition in TEs. To address this limitation, we adapted a methodology from coordination chemistry dealing with complexities to extract TE parameters from a series of thinner Peltier sheets, paving the way for future improvements.
