“…[12,13] For sustainable generation of the power required in practical environments, hybrid and multisource energy-harvesting technologies have attracted substantial attention for their ability to continuously harvest energy and increase power output. [14][15][16][17] Among the energy harvesting technologies that have been reported thus far, TEGs have a number of advantagesincluding simplicity, [18,19] minimal maintenance requirements, [20,21] low cost, [22,23] and reliability, [24,25] that make them a good solution for sustainable power supply from waste heat sources. [26,27] From micro-electronics to industrial furnaces, numerous types of waste heats ranging from room temperature to high temperature (>600 °C) can be recovered into electricity by thermoelectric power generators depending on the materials.…”
