The conversion of thermal energy to electricity using thermoelectrochemical cells (thermocells) is a developing approach to harvesting waste heat. The performance of a thermocell is highly dependent on the solvent used in the electrolyte, but the interplay of the various solvent effects is not yet well understood. Here, using the redox couples [Co(bpy)3][BF4]2/3 (bpy=2,2′-bipyridyl) and (Et4N)3/(NH4)4Fe(CN)6, which have been designed to allow dissolution in different solvent systems (aqueous, non-aqueous, and mixed solvent), the effect of solvent on the Seebeck coefficient (Se) and cell performance was studied. The highest Se for a cobalt-based redox couple measured thus far is reported. Different trends in the Seebeck coefficients of the two redox couples as a function of the ratio of organic solvent to water were observed. The cobalt redox couple produced a more positive Se in organic solvent than in water, whereas addition of water to organic solvent resulted in a more negative Se for Fe(CN)6 3−/4−. UV-vis and IR investigations of the redox couples indicate that Se is affected by changes in solvent–ligand interactions in the different solvent systems.

Photosolvation of [Co(CN)6]3−(1), trans-[Cr(NH3)2(NCS)4]−(2) and trans-[Cr(en)2NCSF]+(3) has been studied in various water/methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, ethylene glycol, glycerol, and acetone mixtures and in aqueous solutions of polyvinylpyrolidone. The quantum yield for thiocyanate loss from 3 was found to be fairly independent of solvent, while for thiocyanate loss from 2, large, and at higher concentrations of organic solvent, specific reductions of quantum yield were observed. The study of 1 using spectrophotometric analysis for [Co(CN)5H2O]2− yielded similar data to some in the literature, but the larger range of systems studied here did not support the reported reduction of quantum yield with bulk viscosity. Furthermore evidence from this and other work suggests that many of the observed quantum yield reductions are only apparent, based on a false assumption that the photosolvation is qualitatively the same in ail mixtures. The data are reinterpreted in terms of competitive solvation by both solvent components. It is argued that this study supports a dissociative model of reaction for 1, but an associative model for the chromium complexes 2 and 3.

The study of ion- solvent interaction is of much importance to investigate the nature of different solutions. Measurement of electrical conductivity and evaluation of physico-chemical properties, such as molar conductance, limiting molar conductance, ion-pair association, Walden product etc. shade light on different intermolecular interactions present in electrolyte solutions. Solvation properties can be varied by mixing two or more solvents. An extensive literature survey on conductometric studies has been carried out on different electrolytes dissolved in a wide range of mixed solvent systems. The reported results show that strong solute-solute, solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions are responsible for the physico- chemical behavior of a solution in mixed solvents.
