Miniaturized planar Si-nanowire micro-thermoelectric generator using exuded thermal field for power generation

For harvesting energy from waste heat, the power generation densities and fabrication costs of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are considered more important than their conversion efficiency because waste heat energy is essentially obtained free of charge. In this study, we propose a miniaturized pl...
