This work demonstrates thermal-to-electric energy conversion based on ionic nanofluidic transport in nano channels inducted by a temperature gradient. Two types of highly periodic and high aspect ratio nanochannels have been fabricated in a silicon (Si) substrate and in an aluminium oxide (Al2O3) me...
