The thin, CO2-rich Martian atmosphere presents a novel opportunity for in-situ thermoelectric power generation. With a composition of 95.7% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, and 1.6% argon, it offers significant advantages for dynamic thermoelectric conversion systems. The dense molecular weight and high thermal stability of Martian gases support robust system performance, reducing the risk of gas
