    Abstract: An assembly for coupling thermally a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to an exhaust manifold includes a first heat-exchanger, a first dielectric-layer, a TEG, and a direct-bond-copper-arrangement (DBC). The first dielectric-layer overlies a portion of the outer surface of the first heat-exchanger. The first dielectric-layer is formed by firing a thick-film dielectric material onto the stainless steel of the first heat-exchanger. The TEG defines a first contact suitable to be coupled thermally and electrically to the first conductor-layer. The DBC is interposed between the first dielectric-layer and the first contact of the TEG. The DBC is formed by an adhesion-layer formed of high-adhesion-copper-thick-film in contact with the first dielectric-layer, a bond-layer formed of copper-thick-film that overlies and is in contact with the adhesion-layer opposite the first-dielectric-layer, and a copper-foil-layer that overlies and is in contact with the bond-layer opposite the adhesion-layer.

    Abstract: A system for separating carbon dioxide gas from internal combustion engine exhaust and an electricity generating heat exchanger for the system. The system includes a scrubber tank containing a carbon dioxide absorbent fluid and configured to bubble exhaust gas from the heat exchanger through the carbon dioxide absorbent fluid, whereby carbon dioxide gas is absorbed by the carbon dioxide absorbent fluid. A carbon dioxide storage means stores the carbon dioxide released in a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger cools the exhaust gas emitted by the internal combustion engine, and includes a thermal electric generator (TEG) configured to couple thermally the exhaust gas chamber to the absorber fluid chamber in a manner effective to heat the CO2 absorbent fluid by heat from the engine exhaust to release CO2 gas from the CO2 absorbent fluid and generate electricity in response to a temperature difference therebetween.

The CO2 absorbent fluid is one of: a) an aliphatic di-functional nitrile (e.g. pimelonitrile); and b) an oligomeric poly-acrylonitrile (PAN).
