The concept of native gas-driven dynamic thermoelectric conversion on Mars.

Caption

(a) Directly driving Martian gas thermoelectric conversion to satisfy the Mars surface energy demands. (b) The thermophysical properties of Martian gas compared to conventional rare gases. The symbol P and T represent the operating pressure and temperature, respectively. (c) The type of working pattern suitable for native Martian gas thermoelectric conversion. The closed subcritical cycle is the most suitable choice on Mars.
