Abstract
The thermoelectric efficiency of the ion-conductive materials is investigated as the energy harvesting from heat wastes or wide-spectrum solar radiation. The physical model for the phenomenon is developed and experimental results are analyzed in means of practical implementation with power conversion at temperatures near the ambient. This analysis addresses the thermoelectric efficiency, the power conversion efficiency and options for the practical implementation.
