Thermoelectric Effects
Monalisha Samanta, Subhajit Kundu, Debarati Mitra
The effect of thermoelectricity causes the conversion of waste heat into electricity. It is an economical environmentally beneficial and convenient energy conversion technology that can be used across a broad range of temperature. This chapter introduces thermoelectricity while also exploring its historical context. The thermoelectric property and the different thermoelectric effects, viz. Seebeck, Peltier, Thomson effects, and others are discussed. Additionally, a quick overview of thermoelectric materials has been presented. The figure of merit, a parameter defining research in thermoelectric effects is discussed in this chapter. After all, a concise outline regarding different thermoelectric materials including hybrid polymers, conductive polymers, thermoelectric plastics etc. has also been included herewith.
