DESCRIPTION

As environmental and energy crises become more common, a thermal energy harvester capable of converting abundant thermal energy into mechanical energy appears to be a promising mitigation strategy. The majority of thermal power generation technologies involve solid moving parts, which can reduce reliability and lead to frequent maintenance. This inspired researchers to develop a thermal power nanogenerator without solid moving parts. They propose a thermal power nanogenerator that converts thermal energy into electrical energy.
