Abstract

Recently, two Science papers tackled the challenge of harvesting low-grade heat via liquid thermocells. One combines TGC and TDC to significantly enhance thermopower by an order of magnitude, and the other reveals the selectively thermosensitive crystallization/dissolution at two electrodes. These intriguing and inspiring advances in terms of materials, mechanisms, and performances are briefly introduced, and some remaining challenges and future directions are outlined for further thermopower improvement and practical implementation.
