Abstract:
While climate change, increasing energy consumption, deteriorated air quality and exhaustion of natural resources represent central economic and social challenges today, the waste heat energy released into the atmosphere is a clean, fuel-free and inexpensive energy source. Seventy per cent of energy generated daily is waste heat. Even though thermoelectric and thermo-electrochemical cells are technologies used to convert waste heat into electrical energy, there does not yet exist a technology for the viable harvesting of low-grade waste heat [1]. This presentation will provide an overview of the EU-funded project ‘TRANSLATE’ which aims to develop a proof-of-concept nanofluidic platform technology based on the flux of ions in nanochannels (Fig. 1) [2]. The work targets innovation in versatile and sustainable energy harvesting and storage [3].
