Introduction
The Peltier effect is used in thermoelectric cooling to create a heat flux between two different types of materials.
A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump that transfers heat from one side of the system to the other while consuming electrical energy.
Thermoelectric Cooling System Parts: Cold Junction, A Heat Sink, and a DC Power Source

Conclusion
A thermoelectric generator can be made from a Peltier cooler. When used as a cooler, a voltage is applied across the device, allowing a temperature difference to form between the two sides.
When used as a generator, one side of the unit is heated to a higher temperature than the other, allowing a voltage difference to form between the two sides (the Seebeck effect).
Due to various design and packaging specifications, a well-designed Peltier cooler would be a mediocre thermoelectric generator and vice versa.
As compared to a vapor-compression refrigerator, the Peltier cooler has the following advantages: no moving parts or circulating liquid, extremely long life, leak resistance, compact size, and versatile form.
