A novel current-induced thermoelectric phenomenon, the nonlinear anomalous Ettingshausen effect, was discussed. As an example, the weak charge ordering state in an organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 was focused on. This effect generates a transverse heat current with rectifying characteristics, namely unidirectionality even under AC fields.

In many energy devices, electron transfer occurs between ions dissolved in the electrolyte and the electrodes. For keep current flowing, new ions must be supplied continuously to the electrode surface from the bulk region. The diffusion layer’s role in diffusive mass transfer was clarified using the rotating disk electrode method.
