THERMOELECTRIC ELEMENT HAVING STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF IMPROVING THERMAL EFFICIENCY

摘要

A thermoelectric device provided according to one aspect of the present invention includes a support member having a shape corresponding to a waste heat environment having a curved surface, and a thermoelectric material formed on a surface of the support member so that it surrounds the support member, wherein the support member is formed of a material having a low thermal conductivity, which is not the thermoelectric material, so as to keep a temperature difference between both ends of the thermoelectric device.
