THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION MATERIAL, THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE HAVING THE SAME, THERMO-ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL AND THERMOELECTRIC SENSOR

摘要

The present invention provides a thermoelectric conversion material having a considerably increased Seebeck coefficient, and a thermoelectric conversion device, a thermo-electrochemical cell and a thermoelectric sensor which include the material. The thermoelectric conversion material of the present invention includes a redox pair and a capture compound which captures only one of the redox pair selectively at low temperature and releases at high temperature.
