Micro and nanotechnologies for thermoelectric generators

This paper reviews the principles of thermoelectric energy harvesters and discusses the development of a new type of nanostructured thermoelectric generator, fabricated by combining silicon microfabrication techniques, electroplating and submicron ion-track nanolithography. Ion-track etched polyimid...

520 |a This paper reviews the principles of thermoelectric energy harvesters and discusses the development of a new type of nanostructured thermoelectric generator, fabricated by combining silicon microfabrication techniques, electroplating and submicron ion-track nanolithography. Ion-track etched polyimide nanotemplates (30-100nm pore diameters) are used to grow Bi2Te3 nanowires by electroplating. Microstructural and thermoelectric properties of Bi2Te3 thin electroplated film are reported.
