NEC, NEC TOKIN and Tohoku University develop spin-Seebeck thermoelectric device w/ 10x better conversion efficiency

Green Car Congress

NEC Corporation, NEC TOKIN Corporation and TOHOKU UNIVERSITY have jointly created a thermoelectric (TE) device using the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) with conversion efficiency 10 times higher than a test module that was produced based on a multi-layered SSE technology published by the Tohoku University group in 2015.

MIT/Stanford team develops battery technology for the conversion of low-grade waste heat to power; TREC

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed new battery technology for the conversion of low-temperature waste heat into electricity in cases where temperature differences are less than 100 degrees Celsius. These features lead to a high heat-to-electricity energy conversion efficiency of 5.7% Click to enlarge.

Bulk antimony sulfide electrodes for Li-ion batteries show high capacity, cycle stability; small particle size not necessary

Green Car Congress

In this article, our focus is on alloy-based metal sulfide (M x S) as anode materials because they can undergo both conversion reaction between Li and M x S and alloying reaction of the remaining metal with Li, resulting in higher charge and discharge capacities. Other than additional peaks at 1.9 V during charging and 1.7 Yu, Harry E.
