Thermoelectric generation is a technology which converts heat directly into electrical energy using Seebeck effect. This technology is attracting technology from CO_2 reduction, energy-saving and waste heat recovery. The benefit of thermoelectric generation is no moving parts, compact and no CO_2 emissions on working. Thermoelectric generator module is a solid-state device using a number of thermoelectric semiconductor elements. Bismuth Telluride solid solutions has high thermoelectric property from 300 K to 500 K range. This paper describes the structure, property and application using Bismuth Telluride thermoelectric generator module.
