Abstract : The pursuit of sustainable energy solutions has highlighted the potential of waste heat recovery as a viable source of electricity. This research explores the feasibility and efficiency of generating electricity using the thermoelectric effect, specifically the Seebeck effect, by harnessing waste heat from boilers in thermal power plants. The study focuses on enhancing the performance of thermoelectric materials through advanced fabrication techniques such as the Sol-Gel Method and Magnetron Sputtering, aiming to improve the Seebeck coefficient and figure of merit (ZT). This theoretical research provides a comprehensive analysis of the proposed methods and their implications for sustainable energy practices and waste heat recovery systems.
