In the present study, the possibility of using electrochemical systems
for solving the problems of direct thermoelectric conversion is consi
dered for a number of nonconventional electrochemical couples: 'inert'
electrode/macrocyclic complex with the central coordinated metal ion
in different oxidation states (aqueous, aprotic organic electrolyte),
'inert' electrode/metal ion in different oxidation states (molten salt
), lithium intercalate/lithium-containing aprotic organic electrolyte,
semiconductor/molten salt. A comparative analysis of data on the main
criteria of thermoelectric ability (Seebeck coefficient, efficiency f
actor, Z-factor, efficiency, etc.) confirmed that it is possible in pr
inciple to use the electrochemical systems studied in direct thermoele
ctric conversion devices.
