from
Wikipedia
The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice-versa.
A thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side.
Conversely, when a voltage is applied to it, it creates a temperature difference.
At the atomic scale, an applied temperature gradient causes charge carriers in the material to diffuse from the hot side to the cold side.
