| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a thermoelectric device (100) comprising a first electrode (102), a second electrode (104), a first electrolyte composition (101) capable of transporting cations, a second electrolyte composition (103) capable of transporting anions and a connector (105) comprising mobile cations and mobile anions, wherein the first electrolyte composition is connected to said first electrode by being in ionic contact and the second electrolyte composition is connected to said second electrode by being in ionic contact and said connector is in ionic contact with said first and said second electrolyte composition, such that an applied temperature difference over said electrolyte compositions or an applied voltage over said electrodes facilitate transport of ions to and/or from said electrodes via said electrolyte compositions. Methods for generating electric current or a temperature difference are provided as well. |
