Introducing our partners from the University of Latvia (UL), which includes research groups from the Institute of Chemical Physics (UL ICP) and the Institute of Solid State Physics (UL ISSP).
The Advanced Energy Materials Group (AEMG) at the Tyndall National Institute are responsible for are responsible for characterising and validating the fabricated thermoelectric cell in the TRANSLATE device, with the focus of targeted power generation. Come and meet their team.
TRANSLATE consortium member and Work Package 1 leader, Professor Steffen Hardt (Technische Universität Darmstadt), tells us about the physics of thermoelectric energy conversion in nanochannels.
Cidete are responsible for assisting in the electrical and thermal characterisation of nanofluidic platforms, preparing and characterising suitable electrode materials for intercalative energy harvesting cells, and testing prototype devices. Come and meet their team.
UCC's Materials Chemistry and Analysis Group coordinate the TRANSLATE project and are responsible for fabricating nanoporous materials infiltrated with electrolyte for thermovoltage generation. Here we introduce their team members.
TU Darmstadt’s Institute for Nano- and Microfluidics are responsible for building the simulation model that will allow transport processes in nanochannels under temperature gradients to be investigated. Here is their team.
TRANSLATE consortium member, Professor Paul Hurley, tells us about the origins of our knowledge on global warming and the interesting link with the aim of the TRANSLATE project.
TRANSLATE consortium member, Dr. Subhajit Biswas, tells the story behind TRANSLATE, and how the idea went from blue-sky thinking to a successfully-funded EU project.
