Power Generation Applications

Nextreme’s thin film thermoelectric materials deliver the smallest ever eTEG size as well as unique output power density.

Nextreme's thermoelectric generator (eTEG) enables convenient recycling of heat to electricity. The eTEG’s advantages include high power density in a very thin, lightweight form factor; solid-state construction with no moving parts; and cost efficiencies/scalability as a result of semiconductor fabrication techniques. Nextreme's DBAM™ assembly process is highly flexible and enables a vast range of manufacturable designs to meet specific customer needs.   

Applications include:

• Advanced military/aerospace power generation designs
• Power for remote devices such as wireless sensor networks
• Thermal batteries for trickle charging conventional batteries
• Harvesting (recycling) energy from combustion processes such as turbines and engines
• Generating power in harsh, remote environments
• Power generation for medical implants

Nextreme's eTEG is optimized to provide power for high heat fluxes (>20 W/cm²) with a very small form factor. Conventional bulk thermoelectrics are limited to heat fluxes <20 W/cm² with 10x the footprint.
