In joint research with The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Nagoya University, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) developed a new material “thermoelectric permanent magnet” exhibiting extremely high transverse thermoelectric conversion performance, and achieved transverse thermoelectric generation with a power density of 56.7 mW/cm2 around room temperature in a thermoelectric-permanent-magnet-based module.
‘Thermoelectric permanent magnet’ achieves record power density for energy harvesting
