TEC's are solid state heat pumps that operate on this effect. Refrigerators with no moving parts can be constructed using it, but they are not very efficient. It was discovered by its namesake when he joined a piece of copper wire to a piece of bismuth wire then to a battery and completed the loop back to the copper wire. He discovered a cooling of one junction and heating of the other when electric current is maintained in a circuit of material consisting of two dissimilar conductors. FTP, identify this effect named for its French discoverer, an analogue of the Seebeck effect.
