【Abstract】 This paper reviews the new progress of small & micro-scale thermoelectric refrigeration (TER) on the basis of a comprehensive survey of literatures. TER meets new opportunities and urges due to the global prohibition of CFCs and the progresses in the fields of electronics, materials and other technology concerned, small and micro-scale TERs are especially extending applications in more and more fields. It presents distinct advantages in locally or wholly cooling small devices in comparison with other refrigeration modes. It is anticipated that superlattice thermoelectric materials presents great potential in increasing figure of merit, and that integrated thermoelectric micro-cooler is a promising form to cool electronic devices.更多还原
