In 1821 he discovered the thermoelectric effect, where a junction of dissimilar metals produces an electric current when exposed to a temperature gradient.

Like bismuth telluride, Bi 2 Te 3, antimony telluride has a large thermoelectric effect and is therefore used in solid state refrigerators.
13.
I entered an international science fair with a project on the thermoelectric effect but miserably died . "'[ Mac ??v?s ] "'

:For materials that exhibit the thermoelectric effect more strongly, see Thermoelectric materials . talk ) 17 : 54, 24 December 2010 ( UTC)

The thermoelectric effect causes junctions of different metals to generate voltages if the junctions are at different temperatures ( see also " thermocouple " ).
16.
The " thermoelectric effect " refers to phenomena by which either a temperature difference creates an electric potential or an electric potential creates a temperature difference.
17.
However, low-cost materials that have a sufficiently strong thermoelectric effect ( and other required properties ) could be used in applications including power generation and refrigeration.
18.
Joule heating, the heat that is generated whenever a current is passed through a resistive material, is related, though it is not generally termed as thermoelectric effect.
19.
He responded by saying that the thermoelectric effect creates " low-grade energy " and suggested using a steam turbine instead, which puzzled me at first, because it looks more inefficient.
20.
This work took advantage of the parallel development of solid state electronic devices particularly commercial availability of small thermoelectric effect ( Peltier-Seebeck ) devices for converting heat flow into voltage and vice versa.
