Abstract

See full text

One or more devices, systems, apparatuses, methods of manufacture and/or methods of use to facilitate thermal sensing in a field related to thermal radiation are envisioned. In one embodiment, an ionic thermoelectric thermal radiation sensor, comprises a substrate, an ionic thermoelectric sensing unit arranged on the substrate and comprising ionically conductive and electrically insulating material, wherein the ionic thermoelectric sensing unit is a voltage-producing unit having first and second surfaces spaced apart from and disposed opposite to one other, wherein the ionic thermoelectric sensing unit produces voltage via thermal diffusion of ions or via the Soret effect under a temperature difference between the first and second surfaces, a thermal radiation absorber that generates heat when exposed to thermal radiation, and one or more electrical connectors that connect the first and second surface.
