New Publication Alert!
We are glad to share our latest work in RSC Materials Horizons, part of the COgITOR project, where we tackle one of energy’s biggest challenges: converting low-grade waste heat into electricity. With global energy demands rising and sustainability becoming ever more critical, our research addresses the untapped potential of low-grade waste heat recovery, a key step toward greener energy systems. Our study demonstrates a novel approach in thermogalvanic devices that achieves stable and efficient performance under passive cooling conditions, a significant advancement for real-world applications. By optimizing key parameters, we’ve unlocked performance comparable to state-of-the-art systems, paving the way for scalable and practical energy solutions.
A huge thank you to our authors Matteo Bevione, Arma Dagopalnaidu for her exceptional work in modelling the complex physics behind this system and the supervisor Giulia Tagliabue for her guidance and invaluable contributions.
We are very grateful to EISMEA and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) for funding this research. The future of sustainable energy is bright, and we can’t wait to see where these innovations lead next!
