Arpa-e funds $1.7M to develop Economically Printed Flexible Nanostructured Stacked Thermoelectric Junctions

The University of Illinois received funding through ARPA-E’s 37 Projects Selected From Funding Opportunity Announcement #1 to develop an economic and highly scalable approach to fabricate flexible thermoelectric junctions based on silicon nanotubes and optimize the energy conversion efficiency. The end of phase deliverable is a 1 square inch flexible thermoelectric module with effective ZT>1.2. Publish Post
