Ink-based thermoelectric technology could be solution for replacing problematic refrigerants

Here’s what’s happening with ink-based thermoelectric technology could be solution for replacing problematic refrigerants.

Phys.org Technology reports that Ink-based thermoelectric technology could be solution for replacing problematic refrigerants. Today’s refrigerants, which are specialized working fluids used in air conditioners, refrigerators and heat pumps, come with a host of issues, including leakage, emissions concerns, flammability and limited reclamation of used refrigerants. However, a recent study by University of Notre Dame researchers published in Materials Horizons describes a promising…
