Analyzing the Performance of Thermoelectric Generators with Inhomogeneous Legs: Coupled Material–Device Modelling for Mg<sub>2</sub><i>X</i>-Based TEG Prototypes

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) possess the ability to generate electrical power from heat. As TEGs are operated under a thermal gradient, inhomogeneous material properties—either by design or due to inhomogeneous material degradation under thermal load—are commonly found. However, this cannot be a...
