## Description

- description: Transverse thermoelectric effects interconvert charge and heat currents
    in orthogonal directions due to the breaking of either time-reversal symmetry
    or structural symmetry, enabling simple and versatile thermal energy harvesting
    and solid-state cooling/heating within single materials. In comparison to the
    complex module structures required for the conventional Seebeck and Peltier effects,
    the transverse thermoelectric effects provide the complete device structures,
    potentially resolving the fundamental issue of multi-module degradation of thermoelectric
    conversion performance. This review article provides an overview of all currently
    known transverse thermoelectric conversion phenomena and principles, as well as
    their characteristics, and reclassifies them in a unified manner. The performance
    of the transverse thermoelectric generator, refrigerator, and active cooler is
    formulated, showing that thermal boundary conditions play an essential role in
    discussion on their behaviors. Examples of recent application research and material
    development in transverse thermoelectrics are also introduced, followed by a discussion
    of future prospects.
