Thermoelectric power generation: Peltier element versus thermoelectric generator

IECON 2016 - 42nd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2016
This paper presents a detailed comparison between Peltier elements (also called thermoelectric coolers (TEC)) and thermoelectric generators (TEG) for the usage as thermoelectric power generators. Whereas the former is normally known for cooling applications or heat pump uses, it can also be used as generator.

Thermoelectricity and thermoelectric power generation

Solid-State Electronics, 1968
Abstract Thermoelectric phenomena result from the diffusion of electrons and phonons along a temperature gradient in electrically conducting solids. These diffusion currents are determined by the concentration of these particles, and their interaction with each other as well as with impurities and defects.

The Further Improvement of the Ionic Thermoelectric Generator

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2013
The power conversion efficiency of the proton-conductive thermoelectric cell is improved by the unidirectional orientation of ionic conductivity in the electrospun Nafion cell. The thermoelectric performance of nanofibers is experimentally demonstrated.

Thermoelectric Cooling and Power Generation

Science, 1999
In a typical thermoelectric device, a junction is formed from two different conducting materials, one containing positive charge carriers (holes) and the other negative charge carriers (electrons). When an electric current is passed in the appropriate direction through the junction, both types of charge carriers move away from the junction and convey ...
