This work reports the effective of thermal-to-electric energy conversion based on a fluidic transport of nanochannels electrochemical devices induced by a temperature gradient. Using highly order periodic and high aspect ratio anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) nanochannels with 10 nm-diameter and 3 µm-l...
