Abstract
Rectifying and thermocouple junctions have been achieved using electrically dissimilar Portland cement pastes. The preferred junction is a pn-junction involving steel fiber cement paste (n-type) and carbon fiber cement paste (p-type). For this junction, the thermocouple sensitivity is 70 εV/°C.
