Electrochemical Peltier (ECP) cooling uses the entropy change to transfer heat. In comparison to air conditioners, which cool down the entire space, the ECP cooling cools down only the part where the electricity is applied and is useful for localized cooling. In addition, the ECP cooling can tranfer heat efficiently by flowing the electrolyte while applying the electric current.
