摘要：

Thermoelectronic energy conversion can potentially provide an exceptionally efficient way to convert heat into electric power. Key components of such converters are materials with designed, small work functions. We present the principles of thermoelectronic energy conversion and discuss the advantages and challenges of the conversion process, as well the state of the art of the respective research.
