THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE AND AN ARRAY OF A THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF INCREASING ELECTRICITY GENERATING EFFICIENCY BY INCREASING A TEMPERATURE GRADIENT IN A THERMOELECTRIC OBJECT

摘要

PURPOSE: A thermoelectric device and an array of a thermoelectric device are provided to increase the thermal resistance in a thermoelectric object. ;CONSTITUTION: A thermoelectric object(120) is formed between a low temperature area(100) and a high temperature area(140). A first electrode(110) is formed between the low temperature area and the thermoelectric object. A second electrode(130) is formed between the high temperature area and the thermoelectric object. The thermoelectric object is made of metal, semiconductor, boride, or oxide. An insulating layer is formed between the other end part of the thermoelectric object and the lower temperature area.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
