4.6 Calculation of Seebeck coefficient
The Seebeck coefficient, denoted as
\(\text{Se}=\)∆E/∆T\(=\)∆S/nF (1)
Se is defined as the ratio of the open-circuit voltage ΔE to the
temperature difference ΔT. Here, ΔS represents the partial molar entropy
difference of the redox couple, while n and F correspond to the number
of electrons transferred in the redox reaction and Faraday’s constant,
respectively.
