Certain of the materials with strong electron-phonon interaction is studied. These materials are semiconductors with polaron type hopping conduction mechanism; materials with incommensurate structure and natural regular system of energy barriers; semiconductors and semimetals with mobility edge. It is shown that in some cases mentioned types of materials can be rather perspective as thermoelectrics and they can be the base for a new generation of thermoelectrics. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
