Developing efficient harvesting strategies is key to advancing sustainable energy technologies and powering wearable or distributed electronic systems. Thermoelectric technology, capable of directly converting thermal energy into electrical energy, has broad application prospects due to its compact structure, lack of moving parts, and long lifespan. Among existing thermoelectric technologies, quasi-solid-state thermochemical cells (QSTs) have emerged as a promising solution due to their low cost, mechanical flexibility, and high Seebeck coefficient generated by entropy-driven redox reactions. The core of high-performance QSTs lies in redox couples (such as [Fe(CN)6)). 3- / 4- Ion pairs have a large entropy change (Δ) S r c).

At least six consecutive steady-state open-circuit voltage and temperature difference values ​​were selected in the experiment, and open-circuit voltage-temperature difference curves were plotted. The slope of these curves represents the Seebeck coefficient at steady state. To determine the ionic conductivity and normalized power density of the thermochemical cell, a linear sweep voltammetry method was used to obtain current-voltage curves from 0 V to the open-circuit voltage. The conductivity was calculated from the slope of the current-voltage curves. The Seebeck coefficient and conductivity of each sample were measured at least three times to ensure data reliability.
