Direct thermal charging cell for converting low-grade heat to electricity

Recovery of low-grade heat can aid in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but heat-to-electricity conversion technologies should be optimized. Here the authors report a direct thermal charging cell that uses asymmetric electrodes and a redox electrolyte to efficiently convert low-grade heat into elec...
