From several decades, thermoelectric materials have been proved to be potential means of energy conversion due its capability of directly converting heat energy in electricity form. However, due to its complication in construction & fabrication in addition with lower efficiency in performance, thermoelectric devices have limitations when it comes to their application in commercial sector. Electricity from heat or thermoelectricity has been accepted as the means of energy conversion technology which is eco-friendly since it does not harm the environment and carries out the conversion process for long period of time. The present paper depicts the studies and investigation performed in introducing the basic principles of thermoelectric materials including thermoelectric properties various applications of thermoelectric material and its construction process.
