Overview

Advanced Thermoelectric Devices for Cooling, Refrigeration and Energy Harvesting

Phononic develops advanced thermoelectric devices that efficiently manage and monetize heat. Impacting almost every segment of the economy heat presents a unique thermal challenge to end-users and a multi-billion dollar opportunity for Phononic and our partners:

• Effective thermal management of new electronic products is the leading impediment to Moore's Law
• Almost 40% of home energy use in the U.S. is dedicated to refrigeration and climate control
• US energy consumption is inefficient... 60% is wasted as heat

Phononic's approach introduces advanced materials and devices designed to significantly increase the efficiency of Thermoelectric Coolers (TECs) that use electricity to remove heat for electronics cooling and refrigeration, and conversely, Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) that harvest low grade waste heat for power generation.
