01
the electricity produced through the direct conversion of heat energy, often using a thermocouple
Example
Researchers are exploring advanced materials to enhance thermoelectricity generation, aiming for more efficient energy conversion from heat sources.
The waste heat from industrial processes was harnessed to produce thermoelectricity, reducing energy waste and providing additional power for the facility.
Using a thermocouple made of bismuth and antimony, the system generated thermoelectricity from the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides.
