Thermogalvanic cell

ID: thermogalvanic-cell

A thermogalvanic cell is a type of electrochemical cell that generates electrical energy from thermal energy differences. In essence, it converts heat into electrical energy through the thermoelectric effect. This can occur when there is a temperature gradient across two different conductive materials, typically involving an electrolyte and two electrodes made from different materials that create a potential difference when subjected to a temperature difference.
