Specific features of the physical models of organic-fueled TEGs are considered. Comprehensive classification of thermogenerators is presented and techniques for improving their efficiency and expanding the field of their application are determined.

А.А. Snarskii, I.V. Bezsudnov. Thermoelectric properties of macroscopically inhomogeneous composites. Journal of Thermoelectricity. 2005,  No.3. - p.7-23.
Review of theoretical methods for description of thermoelectrical properties of two-phase macroscopically inhomogeneous media is given. Description by means of a hierarchical model of percolation structure is given, allowing a description on a qualitative and quantitative level of the basic regularities of effective thermoelectric coefficient close to flow threshold.
