| Abstract: | Energyharvestingisgainingimportanceinthe21st century,withthermoelectric(TE)technologyoferingapromising methodforconvertingthermalenergyintoelectricalenergy. However,theapplicationofTEdevicesremainsrelativelylow becauseofthelimitationsofconventionalmanufacturingmethods. Fabricatingcomplex-shapedTEdevicesusingtraditionalmanu- facturingprocessesischallengingandleadstoalowefciency. Unlikeconventionalsubtractivemethods,additivemanufacturing (AM)buildsthree-dimensional(3D)objectslayerbylayer, enablingthecreationofintricateandcomplexstructureswith precision.ThisstudyexploresrecenttrendsinAMofthermo- electricsystems,withafocusonmaterials,synthesismethods,and devicefabrication.Italsodiscussesthechallengesassociatedwith theseAMtechniquesandexplorespotentialareasforimprovement.RecentstudieshaveshownthatAMcanproducethermoelectric unitswithhollowandlayeredstructures,enhancingtemperaturegradientsandpowerdensitycomparedwithconventionaldesigns.TheabilitytocustomizegeometriesthroughAMoferspromisingopportunitiestoenhancetheperformanceoftheTEmaterialsand devices.AMtechnologiescanproducehighlyefcient,functionallygradedTEdevices.Byenablingrapidprototypingandhigh-performancestructures,AMcanimprovetheefciencyandapplicationoftheTEmaterials.Futureworkfocusesonfurther advancingtheseAMtechniquesbyintegrationwithmachinelearning(ML)anddevelopmentofmultimaterialTEdevices. |
