Abstract
Inside back cover image: Converting solar thermal energy into electricity and achieving efficient storage of electrical energy is one of the efficacious strategies for tackling the energy crisis. The thermoelectric (TE) generator can convert solar thermal energy into electricity. However, it confronts certain challenges, such as the low solar-thermoelectric conversion efficiency and the inability to store electrical energy. In article number 2024-0034, an efficacious approach has been proffered, whereby a CoAl2O4 photo-thermal conversion (PTC) coating is employed to adorn the TE generator for fabricating the STE generator device endowed with remarkable STE performance, and then this device is coupled with a supercapacitor (SC) for efficacious power storage. This presents a promising approach to effectively convert and store solar thermal energy into electricity, enabling practical applications of STE generator devices in conjunction with other electrochemical energy storage devices.
