The ECT 2017 conference will offer an international forum for scientific exchange on thermoelectricity. The sessions will cover all aspects from materials design, synthesis and characterization to application issues and modules. Oral presentations include comprehensive contributions by invited speakers. In addition, poster sessions will give the opportunity for informal discussions on specific issues. An exhibition of relevant equipment will be offered.
Using self-assembling iron oxide nanoparticles, researchers have managed to produce a solar harvester with enhanced energy conversion capabilities.
By combining semiconductors with flexible polymers, researchers have created a thermoelectric coating for converting low-grade heat into electrical power.
