Thermoelectric Devices: Cooling and Power Generation [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Thermoelectricity is the direct conversion of temperature gradient to electric voltage, and vice-versa. There are several potential applications of thermoelectricity, ranging from clean noiseless cooling, to waste-power harvesting in automotives. The performance of thermoelectric devices is still a challenge, and many approaches have been researched to
