Thermoelectric Conversion with Ion Conductors

Abstract

A theoretical and experimental investigation of an oxygen thermoelectric generator based on oxygen ion-conducting solid electrolyte was carried out. In this thermoelectric generator concept, oxygen is electrochemically expanded at a higher temperature T and compressed at T1 (T1 < T2). The purpose of this program was to establish the theoretical and experimental foundation necessary for assessment of feasibility of this concept for potential application to space power systems.
