4. Organic thermoelectric generators
A thermoelectric generator is a device capable of exploiting the Seebeck effect to convert a temperature difference ΔT applied to its ends into a potential difference ΔV that can be recovered by the external user. The simplest form of a thermoelectric generator consists of a piece of thermoelectric material sandwiched between two electrodes, the first electrode at a so-called "hot" temperature (T
C
), the second at a so-called "cold" temperature (T
F
< T
C
). As shown in figure

, the generator can be considered as...
