TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative flexible thermoelectric micro-generators (μ-TEGs) design based on bismuth telluride thin films is presented. And the experimental results show that an output power of 5.5 μW per thermocouple can be generated under a temperature difference of only 5 K, in excellent agreement with predictions based on three-dimensional finite element analyses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used skutterudites as a proof-of-principle for the construction of TEGs with 1 mm-thick metallic layers and achieved a power-density of 7.6 W cm−2 under temperature differences varying between 450 and 630 K.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the knowledge acquired over the last years on several families of thermoelectric materials, the performances of which are close or even higher than those conventionally used in RTGs to date.

TL;DR: In this paper, the half-skeleton structure of thermoelectric legs has been used for the mass manufacturing of a mass-manufactured version of thermistors with an average power output of 0.37 W/cm2.

TL;DR: In this article , the influence of the insertion bias on the thermal conductivity of Mo-based cluster compounds was investigated, and it was shown that insertion bias can influence the thermoelectric properties of cluster compounds.
