Abstract: Metallic Ag microsphere in a ceramic matrix\nThermoelectricity is the direct solid-state conversion between thermal and electrical energy, without any moving parts, due to the well-known Seebeck effect. Currently, more than half of the energy produced ends up in the form of wasted heat: thermoelectric harvesting and energy conversion constitutes an solution to improve the energy efficiency of classical industrial and domestic energy transforming processes, through thermoelectric modules.
