Key innovations
Technological innovation in materials and devices with independent intellectual property rights breaks through the problem of fragility of traditional heavy elements. Low cost, small size, excellent mechanical properties, room temperature thermoelectric figure of merit>0.7, significantly improving vehicle cooling efficiency and environmental protection.
Potential economic benefits
Due to its low cost, small size and excellent mechanical properties, this green technology can significantly enhance the competitiveness of vehicle-mounted products. High efficiency (40 watts, 20 degrees cooling) enhances user experience and saves energy. With independent intellectual property rights and patents, it can quickly penetrate the market and achieve high profits.
Potential climate benefits
High-efficiency thermoelectric materials reduce vehicle air conditioning energy consumption by locally cooling car seats and refrigerators, and directly reduce vehicle fuel/power consumption, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
