The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of Pennsylvania to develop and demonstrate thermal oscillators capable of generating electricity from waste heat through pyroelectric harvesting. The thermal oscillators would be engineered using polymer and polymer nanocomposite materials, which would be tested over the course of the project.
