ABSTRACT:
The efficiency of thermal galvanic cells is enhanced by establishing a temperature gradient along the electrodes, in addition to the temperature gradient between the electrodes, and/or by optimizing electrode geometry. Optimization of electrode geometry may comprise segmenting the electrodes while retaining the desired total electrode area or controlling the depth of immersion of the electrodes into the electrolyte. Further performance improvement may be obtained through the addition of a silica containing material and/or a thermal barrier to the electrolyte.
