A strategy for the design of Cu2Se thermoelectric legs for power generation is demonstrated, involving finite element modelling and three-dimensional printing to optimize their macroscopic geometries and microscopic defects. A device with an hourglass-shaped leg exhibits enhanced power generation performance compared with one with a traditional cuboid leg.
