1. Thermoelectric material performance and conversion efficiency of a thermoelectric generator

Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of thermoelectric generation based on an elementary converter. This thermoelement consists of two branches made of n- and p-type semiconductor materials, respectively, linked together by metallic connections. A thermoelectric generator consists of an array of several thermoelements connected electrically in series and thermally in parallel, and mounted...
