Thermoelectric Heating Comes In From the Cold
...
...
A decade ago, thermoelectric heating--which relies on the
thermoelectric effect, in which electrons are pulled from one material
to an adjacent material when both are heated--still required toxic or
rare materials such as lead and tellurium. Because the thermoelectric
effect is reversible, it also opens the door to cooling, with none of
the environmental impact of using liquid refrigerants, or requiring
industrial waste heat to be recovered as electricity.
