The LG Innotek, LG’s materials and components engineering service company has developed new thermoelectric semiconductors that are made from nano-polycrystalline materials.
Company took to “Thermoelectric Semiconductor Tech-forum” held on June 20th at LG Science Park in Seoul where it unveiled this new thermoelectic semiconductor to the industry experts.
The Thermoelectric Semiconductor is a component that performs both cooling and heating functions. It can use temperature difference to produce electrical power using “Peltier effect” and “Seebeck effect”.
The Nano-Polycrystalline material is independently developed by the company. They were created by realizing an ultra-fine crystalline structure in scale of manometers. The material has 2.5 times higher rigidity and 30% higher cooling efficiency than than of single crystalline.
The company official said, “LG Innotek is now capable of providing a total solution that encompasses R&D, production, and quality management of the thermoelectric semiconductor element modules.”
