TEG efficiency (a–c) and output power per unit area (d–f) at different geometrical ratios. For all three TEG modules, the maximum efficiency is indeed achieved using non-symmetrical cross-section areas. The non-symmetrical TEG modules are built with the best p-type TE materials along with (a,d) n-type 1, (b,e) n-type 2 and (c,f) n-type 3 TE materials.
