An energy conversion device may include at least one hot source chamber (255, 355) configured to receive a hot fluid, at least one cold source chamber (275, 375) configured to receive a coolant, and a plurality of thermoelectric elements (272, 273, 773) in thermal communication with the at least one hot source chamber (255, 355) and at least one cold source chamber (275, 375), the thermoelectric elements being configured to create an electric potential when exposed to a temperature gradient. The at least one hot source chamber (255, 355) can be configured to perform catalytic conversion of the hot fluid received therein. The at least one hot source chamber (255, 355) and the at least one cold source chamber (275, 375) may be formed from a material having a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion.
