The Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator on the deep space missions use direct thermal to electric generation.

They are not very efficient. 2000 watts of heat, for 125 watts of electricity. 6.25% efficiency.

This thing better be much more efficient, or you will need a big heat sink to cool your phone.
