In this work, we study the suitability of different thermoelectric materialslike $Bi_2Te_3$, $Sb_{2}Te_{3}$, $PbTe$, $TAGS$, $CeFe_{4}Sb_{12}$, $SiGe$ and$TiO_{1.1}$ in estimation of thermoelectric generator's (TEG) efficiency. Theefficiency of TEG made up of ${Be_{2}Te_{3}}$ or $Sb_{2}Te_{3}$ gives $\sim$7\%in temperature range of 310 K - 500 K. $PbTe$ or $TAGS$ or $CeFe_{4}Sb_{12}$gives $\sim$6\% in temperature range of 500 K - 900 K and $SiGe$ or $TiO_{1.1}$also have remarkable efficiency in higher temperature range i.e $\sim$1200 K.Here, we report the enhancement of efficiency by using hybridization techniquefor different combination of above-mentioned materials. Hybridization of twodifferent materials of TEG module is done by considering compatibility factoraspect. To this end, the proposed values of overall efficiency of TEG byhybridizing ${Be_{2}Te_{3}}$ and $PbTe$; ${Be_{2}Te_{3}}$ and $TAGS$;$Bi_{2}Te_{3}$ and $CeFe_{4}Sb_{12}$ are 12\%, 14\% and 11.88\%, respectively,for temperature range of 310 K to 900 K, which can be installed in anautomobile. For steel industry and spacecraft application (till 1200 K)hybridization of $Bi_{2}Te_{3}$, $PbTe$ and $SiGe$; ${Be_{2}Te_{3}}$ and$TiO_{1.1}$ yields efficiency of $\sim$15.2\% and $\sim$17.2\%, respectively.The proposed results can be treated as a viable option for engineers, who arelooking for fabricating TEG in real life applications such as automobile,spacecraft and steel industry.
