Abstract
A method for manufacturing thermoelectric generators or other devices includes imprinting a first replication layer to form a first metastructure, and imprinting a second replication layer to form a second metastructure. The first replication layer is composed of nanoparticles embedded in a polymer, and is disposed on a surface of a first substrate that includes first electrical contacts. The second replication layer also is composed of nanoparticles embedded in a polymer, and is disposed on a surface of a second substrate that includes second electrical contacts. The method includes bonding meta-atoms of the second metastructure to the first electrical contacts, and bonding meta-atoms of the first metastructure to the second electrical contacts, such that respective ones of the meta-atoms of the first metastructure are connected electrically in series with respective ones of the meta-atoms of the second metastructure.
