Electric power generation method using thermoelectric power generation element, thermoelectric power generation element and method of producing the same, and thermoelectric power generation device

摘要: The present invention provides an electric power generation method using a thermoelectric element, and device, each of which has higher performance than conventional ones can be used for more applications. element includes first electrode second that are disposed to oppose other, laminate is interposed between the electrodes electrically connected both electrodes, where structure in Bi 2 Te 3 layers metal containing Al, Cu, Ag, or Au laminated alternately, thickness ratio layer range layer:Bi layer=400:1 20:1, lamination surfaces inclined at inclination angle θ 15° 60° with respect direction temperature difference applied perpendicular generates potential electrodes. device use element.
