Compact thin film modules (5 legs of n-type: Al0.02Zn0.98O, AZO; 5 legs of p-type: Ca3Co4O9) were fabricated on Al2O3, SrTiO3 (STO) single crystal and fused silica substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD).
Performance of modules was evaluated using ad-hoc customized system where the module was set vertically. The largest output power was obtained on Al2O3 with Thot-Tcold = 230 °C: Pmax =29.9 pW. This result is encouraging for the practical applications of thermoelectric oxide thin films, looking forward to the fabrication of modules on flexible substrates for ubiquitous harvesting of the waste heat.
