Harvesting of low-grade heat (<100 °C) is promising, but its application is hampered by a lack of efficient and low-cost systems. The thermally regenerative electrochemical cycle (TREC) is a potential alternative system with high energy-conversion efficiency. Here, the temperature coefficient (α)...
