Fraunhofer Team Invents Printed Thermoelectric Device

At the Electronica trade fair in Munich (13 – 16 November), researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM in Bremen is presenting a striking innovation. A printed thermogenerator, manufactured by the team, which deposits functional structures containing ink or paste base, and has electrical circuit boards and sensors that can be attached to various interfaces. Furthermore, the device can also produce structures, which harvest energy directly in an environmentally friendly way from heat or movement.
