Researchers Use Pencil and Paper to Convert Heat into Electricity

Thermoelectric materials are known to generate electricity by using thermal differences. Now, a low-cost and environmentally friendly method is available for producing these materials with the most basic of components: a photocopy paper, a normal pencil, and a conductive paint can be used to change a temperature difference into electricity through the thermoelectric effect. This breakthrough has now been revealed by researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin.
