Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) represent a promising technology for direct thermal-to-electrical energy conversion based on the Seebeck effect. This paper explores the fundamental physics underlying thermoelectric phenomena, examines the materials and design considerations for practical TEG devices, and discusses current applications and future prospects. The efficiency limitations imposed by the figure of merit (ZT) and strategies for optimization are analyzed. Despite current limitations in conversion efficiency, thermoelectric generators offer unique advantages for waste heat recovery and remote power generation applications.
