A thermocouple uses the thermoelectric effect to do what it does. Thermal energy (heat) is converted into a difference of potential, which is electric (electromagnetic) energy.
No, a thermocouple does not convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It generates electricity by using the Seebeck effect, which is based on the temperature difference between two different metals. The thermocouple produces voltage directly from heat.

A thermocouple produces electrical energy by utilizing the Seebeck effect, which generates a voltage when there is a temperature difference between the two junctions of dissimilar metals in the thermocouple. This electrical energy can be used to measure temperature or power electronic devices.
Mechanical energy (a rotating generator), thermal energy (a thermocouple), chemical energy (a fuel cell)
It is a thermocouple that converts thermal energy into electrical energy through what is called the thermoelectric effect.
Thermocouples generate electrical energy by converting heat energy directly into voltage. This phenomenon is known as the Seebeck effect. When there is a temperature difference between the two junctions of different metals in the thermocouple, it creates a voltage that can be measured and used for various applications.

Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy. In no case can it be more.Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy.

The amount of energy before conversion is typically higher than the amount of useful energy after conversion due to energy losses during the conversion process. These losses can occur in various forms, such as heat, sound, or light, reducing the efficiency of the conversion process. It is essential to minimize these losses to optimize energy efficiency.
The conversion efficiency
Laboratory for Energy Conversion was created in 1892.
