Hydrogen storage is now the “bottle neck” to realize application of hydrogen as the renewable energy. The breakthrough in hydrogen storage is quite urgent. Magnesium is a promising candidate for hydrogen storage that attracts tremendous interest in last a few decades and significant progress...

The resultant thermoelectric (TE) figure of merit Z, the coefficient of performance (COP), the heat pumping capacity per unit area (Qc/S) were derived analytically as functions of l0, ρc, κc and sc for a single thermoelement (STE) by taking into account the interface layers, where l0 is a...
