Thermoelectric Generators Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Material (Bismuth Telluride, Lead Telluride, Others), Application (Waste Heat Recovery, Energy Harvesting, Direct Power Generation, Co-generation), End-Use Industry (Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial, Consumer, Healthcare), and Region
Thermoelectric generators are devices that convert heat into electricity. The technology behind thermoelectric generators is based on the Seebeck effect, which was discovered in the early 19th century. The Seebeck effect occurs when there is a difference in temperature between two conductors, and an electric current is generated.
Thermoelectric generators use this effect to generate electricity from heat. The heat can come from any source, such as a combustion engine, a solar panel, or even a geothermal heat source. Thermoelectric generators are very efficient, and can convert up to 60% of the heat into electricity.
Thermoelectric generators are used in a variety of applications, including power generation, refrigeration, and heating. They are also used in some medical devices, such as pacemakers.
