Abstract
A Thermoelectric Device (TE) is made up of dissimilar conducting
materials that take a tem- perature dierence (waste heat) and converts it to
electrical power. In addition, depending on the direction of the current ow,
a TE can also be used for heating/cooling. The reason why TEs are able to
provide heating/cooling and be a source of electrical power is due to the
Seebeck and Peltier eect. Due to TEs only having a ZT, figure of merit,
value of one a lot of eort is being put into finding materials that could
improve the improve the figure of merit. This paper reviews how the TEs are
implemented in current applications.
