Colossal thermo-hydro-electrochemical voltage generation for self-sustainable operation of electronics

Thermoelectrics are suited to converting dissipated heat into electricity for operating electronics but limited by the small voltage from the Seebeck effect. Here, the authors report a thermo-hydro-electrochemical hybrid device with −87 mV K−1.
