Continuous thermally regenerative electrochemical systems for directly converting low-grade heat to electricity by Li, Xiaoya, Li, Jia, Yun, Jeonghun, Wu, Angyin, Gao, Caitian, Lee, Seok Woo

“…In this system, two identical electrochemical cells operating at different temperatures are combined in a unit; thus, electricity can be generated continuously by periodically alternating between two temperatures. This concept is mainly demonstrated with a copper hexacyanoferrate cathode and a Cu/Cu2+ anode, with this system achieving an energy conversion efficiency of 1.76% (14.19% of Carnot efficiency) when operated between 10 and 50 °C without heat recuperation effects. …”
