“…However, in a subsequent paper [30], they showed discrepant findings: from the Seebeck coefficient measurements they conducted and under Soret equilibrium, most of the entropy of the fuel cell reaction is generated at the anode. This is in line with the findings of Ramousse et al [28].…”

“…In [45], the two terms in the right-hand side of (14) are interpreted, respectively, as conductive and convective contributions to the total heat ux density; presumably, because * e n is related to the ux of electrons. However, convection refers to macroscopic motion of the volume elements or mass of the system, and not to the relative motion of one of its components [19,42], and the adjective convective is not recommended for * e n .…”

“…The reduced heat ux density can also be presented as where * e = − Π is the heat of transport of the electrons [19]. The comparison of (13), (14), (26) and (27) shows that Π = Π − ( / )( / ) and * e = [ * e + ( / ) ]. Thus, the open-circuit electrostatic potential gradient is ∇ = − ∇ = ( * e / )∇ .…”

“…The Peltier and the Seebeck thermoelectric coe cients are a primary focus in classical and emerging elds such as thermoelectric heat-pumping and power generation [1][2][3][4][5], heat harvesting [6][7][8], spin caloritronics [9,10], thermoelectricity in low-dimensional materials [11][12][13], and fuel cells [14][15][16]. The thermoelectricity transport equations are linear relations between ux densities and driving forces.…”

Researchers in thermoelectricity with backgrounds in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, thermoelectric engineering or condensed-matter physics tend to use di erent choices of ux densities and generalized forces. These choices are seldom justi ed from either the dissipation function or the entropy production rate. Because thermoelectric phenomena are a primary focus in several emerging elds, particularly in recent energy-oriented developments, a review of the di erent formalisms employed is judged timely. A systematic classi cation of the transport equations is presented here. The requirements on valid transport equations imposed by the invariance of the entropy production are clearly explained. The e ective Peltier and Seebeck coe cients, and the thermal conductivity, corresponding to the di erent choices of ux densities and generalized forces, are identi ed. Emphasis is made on illustrating the compatibility of apparently disparate formalisms. The advantages and drawbacks of these formalisms are discussed, especially from the point of view of the experimental determination of their thermoelectric coe cients.

“…: (a) Peltier effect where temperature gradients generates from electrical energy, (b) Seebeck effect where electricity generates due to temperature differences and (c) Thomson effect where the heat is changed to temperature gradient in a single conductor while an electric current pass through it. These effects are fundamentally related to the characteristics of TE [29][30][31] and it is illustrated in Fig. 2.…”
