Abstract
Despite recent advances, thermoelectric energy conversion will never be as efficient as steam engines. That means thermoelectrics will remain limited to applications served poorly or not at all by existing technology. Bad news for thermoelectricians, but the climate crisis requires that we face bad news head on.
摘要
尽管最近取得了进展，但热电能量转换永远不会像蒸汽机那样高效。这意味着热电技术将仍然局限于现有技术服务不佳或根本无法服务的应用领域。这对热电技术人员来说是个坏消息，但气候危机要求我们直面坏消息。
