We are investigating sensitized thermal cells (STC) which generate power from thermal energy by making use of a system of dye sensitized solar cells. The STCs works by using thermally excited carriers instead of photo-excited carriers. In this presentation, electrochemical cells using Ag₂S were fabricated and redox reaction by thermally excited carriers was examined.
