What is the difference between thermoelectric coolers and thermoelectric generators?

Are they just the same in structure?

A manufacturer in China is selling thermoelectric generators at much higher prices than their thermoelectric coolers.
$90 for a 14.7watt module

Perhaps I can use these thermoelectric coolers as generators?
