| 摘要 |
A multi-layered solid-state thermal-electrical generator (“MSTEG”) system capable of generating electricity from thermal energy is disclosed. An MSTEG system includes a thermal layer, a regulating layer, and a storage layer. The thermal layer, in one embodiment, includes multiple integrated thermal-electrical generator (“ITEG”) devices configured to generate electricity in response to a certain thermal condition. The thermal condition for example can be a temperature difference between 900° C. (Celsius) to 1200° C. for a certain layer. The regulating layer includes multiple thermal regulators deposited over the thermal layer, wherein the thermal regulators regulate temperature. The storage layer includes one or more thermal storage tanks deposited over the regulating layer, wherein each thermal storage tank is capable of storing heat.
