I understand that a thermocouples are used to generate electricity when one side of two different metals are either heated or cooled. When electricity is applied to the thermocouple, one side gets warmer and the other side becomes cooler.
Im trying to build a fully operational thermoelectric cooler for various reasons but am stuck at many part of the design.
I did some reasearch about thermoelectric cooler but not much information are avaliable.
I need help with the design of the device and the material

You'd want to find a peltier module, its a thick chip basically, it has a bunch of those junctions and transfers heat from the cold side to the hot side. You will need a big heatsink on the hot side, and a plate on the cold side to clamp the peltier. The cold side can get cold enough to form ice crystals while the hot side can get hot enough that without the heatsink, it would self-desolder.
You can typically find the peltiers online, or as big heatsink/TEC assemblies scrapped out of camping coolers typically.

You could always try Uzzors MOT PSU ( ). He basically took a MOT, took the HV windings out and rewound some windings to give him the voltage he wanted. I'm sure that if you used big enough wire you could get 14V at an absurd amount of amperage.

Maybe a Thermoelectric cooler is too much work.
The main purpose for my thermoelectric cooler was to create a cooler capable of freezing while being silent. The cooler was designed house my bacterial colonies for later uses.
