Figure 5. Long-term stability and device integration. (A) Quasi-continuous discharge profiles of the PSD-10-based thermocell at a ΔT = 10 K; (B) Magnified view of the discharge cycles from 0.9 to 1.0 h in (A); (C) Voltage evolution of PSD-10-based thermocell during prolonged operation at a ΔT = 10 K; (D) Output voltage as a function of the number of series-connected units under a constant ΔT; (E) Voltage-time curve of an integrated module consisting of 12 series-connected units at ΔT = 40 K; and (F) Optical image of the module powering a small fan (photographed by the authors).
