Member Size Effect in Seebeck Coefficient of Cement Composites Incorporating Silicon Carbide by Byeong-Hun Woo, Kyu-Tae Park, Kyung-Suk Yoo, Jee-Sang Kim

“…Cubic specimens exhibited higher SC values compared to beam specimens, with a maximum SC of 1374 μV/K at 100% SiC substitution, attributed to shorter thermal diffusion distances. The findings suggest that optimizing member size and SiC content can significantly improve the thermoelectric performance of cement composites, potentially enhancing energy efficiency in construction applications.…”
