Thermoelectric Conversion with Ion Conductors.

Abstract

This report highlights progress accomplished during the second quarter: Electrolyte conductivity versus composition studies are continuing on both zirconia and bismuth oxide compounds. Electrode studies were initiated to find an efficient electrode to operate at high temperatures (i.e. 1000 C) for the high temperature side of the heat engine. A Bi-element thermoelectric cell was constructed and tested to identify the critical design considerations for efficient energy conversion.
