In article number 2100580, Bertrand Lenoir and co‐workers demonstrate the fabrication of high‐power‐density thermoelectric generators in which skutterudites act as the active materials. Using a nonconventional design of the thermoelectric legs that enables a strong reduction of the volume of skutterudites integrated, record‐breaking power densities ranging between 2.8 and 7.6 W cm −2 for temperature differences varying from 450 to 630 K are achieved.
