Heat energy (also called thermal energy) is used for generation of electricity and is in fact the most dominant of the the various processes for production of electricity which include thermal, hydroelectric, wind power, wave power and solar panels etc. Heat produced either by chemical means such as burning of fossil fuels (coal, naphtha, LPG, CNG etc.) or by nuclear fission is used to convert water into steam at high temperature and pressure to drive a turbine connected to a generator.
Heat can also be used to accelerate some chemical reactions and the products can be recombined to produce energy in the field.

Heat Energy to Electrical-: (A Typical Power Station)
The stroed chemical energy is released when Coal is burnt or Nuclear Fission (the splitting of atoms) is performed, this becomes heat energy and is used to heat the water into super-heated steam, this in turn drives a turbine and produces electricity

chemical energy is liberated when diffusion of atoms take place in the highly radioactive metals.
solar panels are the best example of converting the into electric energy

It's already been done. Look at any solar panel.
