Résumé

Thermomagnetic generation is a promising technology for conversion of low-grade waste heat into electricity. Key requirements for the development of efficient thermomagnetic generators (TMGs) are tailored thermomagnetic materials as well as innovative designs enabling fast heat transfer. Recently, film-based thermomagnetic generators are developed that operate in the mode of resonant self-actuation enabling high frequency and stroke of a movable cantilever and, thus, efficient conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy. Here, the performance of a Gadolinium (Gd)-film-based TMG that is optimized for resonant self-actuation near room temperature is reported. The Gd-film TMG exhibits large oscillation frequencies up to 106 Hz and large strokes up to 2 mm corresponding to 38% of the oscillating cantilever's length. This performance occurs in a sharply bound range of ambient temperatures with an upper limit near the film's ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition temperature T c of 20 °C and of heat source temperatures ranging between 40 and 75 °C. The maximum power per footprint is 23.8 µWcm −2 , at which the Gd film undergoes a temperature change of only 0.9 °C at ≈10 °C above T c .
