Silicon Based Thermoelectric Cells with Built in Solar Cells and CNT Composite Based Thermoelectric Cells for Measurement of Gradient of Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermoelectric cells and Solar cells are source of harvesting energy from heat and light respectively. In this study both are fabricated on a single cell using n-Si and p-Si single crystal strips.Later, temperature gradient cells are also fabricated . The fabricated Phtoto-thermoelectric cells and Temperature gradient celss are investigated, showing improvement in seebeck effect.
