Fully Screen Printed Carbon Black-Only Thermocouple and the Corresponding Seebeck Coefficients

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceedingspeer-review

Abstract

This work presents a thermocouple that is fully screen printed and consists exclusively of carbon black conductors. Two different carbon black inks were printed to form a thermocouple, which has been characterized regarding its output voltage. For reference, each of the carbon black inks was used in combination with gold to form two further thermocouples. These have also been characterized and the output voltage used to predict the output of the associated thermocouple consisting of pure carbon black conductors. The results have been compared with the measurement results and show that the output of the pure carbon black thermocouple is roughly 10% lower than expected.
