INTRODUCTION
A solid-state thermoelectric device (SSTED) is a device that converts heat energy into electrical energy using the thermoelectric effect. It is composed of two semiconductor materials, typically p-type and n-type, which are joined together in a sandwich-type structure.
When the two materials are exposed to a temperature gradient, a voltage is created between the two materials due to the Seebeck effect. This voltage can then be used to generate electricity.
SSTEDs offer several advantages over traditional thermoelectric generators, such as a higher efficiency, lower cost, and a smaller size.
SSTEDs are also capable of operating at higher temperatures than traditional thermoelectric generators, making them ideal for use in applications such as waste heat recovery and solar energy conversion. Furthermore, SSTEDs can be designed to operate in both directions, allowing for energy storage and conversion.
SSTEDs are typically composed of a variety of materials, such as semiconductors, metals, and insulators, which are carefully tailored to optimize their performance. These materials can be layered and arranged in various ways, depending on the application. For example, for a waste heat recovery application, the layers may be configured to maximize heat absorption or to minimize thermal losses.
EV SOLID-STATE THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST
The Global EV Solid-State Thermoelectric Device market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Nissan Will Introduce an EV Using Solid-State Batteries in Five Years. The Japanese automaker is expected to open its factory producing solid-state batteries on schedule. Nissan claims to be in a “class-leading position” to produce the first batch of cheaper, liquid-free solid-state batteries, and a new electric car powered by these batteries is expected to go into production within the next five years.
The timeline was provided by the company’s senior vice president for research and development in Europe, who discussed the Japanese brand’s advancements in solid-state technology in an interview with the UK-based publication Autocar.
Earlier Nissan made the initial announcement that it would be developing solid-state batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and that it would construct a pilot plant to produce prototype cells. After a year, the Nissan Research Center in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, started working on the prototype.
Solid-state electric vehicle batteries, according to Toyota, may have a driving range of up to 900 miles. To help the company transition to the electric era, Toyota recently unveiled plans for several new technologies at a technical briefing. These technologies include next-generation EV batteries, aerodynamic drag reduction, and manufacturing upgrades.
Toyota announced that it hopes to provide solid-state state EV batteries with a potential driving range of over 900 miles, following the discovery of a breakthrough. At the gathering, many Toyota executives gave speeches outlining the company’s future electric vehicle technology strategy using still-evolving concepts. Despite pressure from investors and governments to switch to all-electric vehicles, Toyota remains committed to its hybrid strategy, which combines fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid vehicles.
