Researchers Achieve New Breakthrough in Converting Waste Heat into Electricity

Using....
you guessed it.


As energy conservation is expected to play an increasing role in managing global demand, both materials and methods that use existing sources of energy have become more and more important.

Now, scientists have revealed a breakthrough in converting waste heat, produced from power generating plants, industrial smokestacks or automobile tailpipes, into electricity. They reported their findings this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The scientists involved in this study successfully used a thermoelectric compound consisting of titanium, iron, antimony and niobium to dramatically increase the material’s power output density at a very hot pressing temperature up to 1373 K or about 2,000°F to create the material.
