Recently, a research paper published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces of the American Chemical Society of researchers at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden reports that they have developed a mixture of turmeric coatings. Thermoelectric (Thermo electric) that converts heat directly into electricity.

To be used for devices that generate heat less than 100 degrees Celsius

Researcher in materials chemistry of the Institute

said that

It has focused on the design and development of hybrid thermoelectric materials.

in order to be applicable to working at room temperature

It combines a semiconductor circuit that has electrically conductive and dielectric properties depending on temperature, light, etc., with flexible materials such as polymers to create inks used to coat any surface.

heat spreader

to dissipate heat

The specially designed thermoelectric material is used to drive devices.

able to move with heat

like wearable and low-power devices

This new surface treatment

will open the way for

Low cost but sustainable new form of production and widespread use of thermoelectric coatings are expected in the near future.
