Curium is not used in thermoelectric generators.
Possible uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages.
Possible uses of some curium isotopes in thermoelectric generators - in the future; now this type of device has some disadvantages.
Possible uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages.Also, the scientific importance for humans knowledge.
Curium is a strong alpha particle emitter and can be used as alpha particle source or in isotopic heat generators.
Polonium was used as source of energy in thermoelectric generators.
- Uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages. - Also for the analysis of rocks on other planets; curium is used as particle source for alpha particle X-ray spectrometers - experiments in chemistry/physics of superheavy elements
