A Multidirectionally Thermoconductive Phase Change Material Enables High and Durable Electricity via Real-Environment Solar–Thermal–Electric Conversion

A solar thermoelectric generator (STEG) that generates electricity from sunlight is expected to be a promising technology for harvesting and conversion of clean solar energy. The integration of a phase-change material (PCM) with the STEG even more enables engines to durably generate power in spite o...

Zusammenfassung:A solar thermoelectric generator (STEG) that generates electricity from sunlight is expected to be a promising technology for harvesting and conversion of clean solar energy. The integration of a phase-change material (PCM) with the STEG even more enables engines to durably generate power in spite of solar radiation flux. However, its photothermal conversion and output electricity is still limited (
