STARTREC – Space, domesTic and industriAl applications with impRoved TheRmoElectric Components

Since January 1st, 2025, the Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives coordinates the EU-funded Horizon Europe Project STARTREC (Horizon Europe Grant Agreement 101160663).

The focus of the new research project is the development of next-generation thermoelectric generators based on SiGe nanostructured materials with innovative device architectures, leading to double their efficiencies to 10 – 15 % and to demonstrate their high performances at TRL5 for three different and complementary high impact use cases.
