Problems solved by technology

However, due to the high thermal conductivity of commonly used inorganic thermoelectric materials, for example, Bi-Te alloys have a thermal conductivity of 1.5 to 2.0 W / (m·K) (see J.P.Fleurial et al., J.Phys.Chem.Solids , 49, 1237(1988)), the thermal conductivity of Si-Ge alloy is 4W / (m·K) (see Netsuden Henkan Zairyo (Thermoelectric Conversion Material ), Nikkan Kogyo Sha(2005)), so it is usually not possible to maintain a sufficiently large temperature difference between the two junctions due to the heat transfer from the hot junction to the cold junction

example 1

[0072] (1) Synthesis of gold nanoparticles

[0073] Gold nanoparticles using p-aminothiophenol (p-ATP) as a protecting agent were synthesized by the following method. A 1.0 mM ethanol / water (1:1 by volume) solution of p-ATP was prepared. Put the solution in a nitrogen atmosphere, and add tetrachloroauric (III) acid tetrahydrate to the solution until the concentration of tetrachloroauric (III) acid is 1.0 mM. In this solution, p-ATP and gold ions (Au 3+ ) in a molar ratio of 1:1. The solution was stirred in the dark (under a nitrogen atmosphere) and then the gold ions were reduced by the dropwise addition of aqueous sodium borohydride as reducing agent. This caused the solution to turn black. The solution was dried, washed with water, and dried again to obtain a black powder. X-ray diffraction measurements of the black powder showed that its diffraction peaks belonged to crystalline gold. From the shape of the peak, the size of the crystal was determined to be 16 nm. I...

example 2 and example 3

[0080] The p-ATP-coated gold nanoparticles obtained as described in Example 1 were combined with conductive PANi as described in Example 1, except that the gold content was changed to 1.1% by weight (Example 2) or 2.1% by weight ( Example 3). The conductivity and Seebeck coefficient were measured as described in Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 1.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application requires Japanese Patent Application No.2008- 270161, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The invention relates to: a composite material comprising a conductive polymer and metal nanoparticles; a thermoelectric device comprising the composite material; and a thermoelectric device comprising a conductive polymer material. Background technique [0004] A conventional thermoelectric device (such as a thermoelectric generator or a Peltier cooling device) can be fabricated by forming thermocouples from a rigid thermoelectric material (such as bismuth-tellurium) and arranging a large number of such thermocouples in parallel in the direction of heat flow . Typically, the thermoelectric material is a porous material that is columnar in shape with a diameter of several millimeters (mm), or rectangular in shape with a length of several millimeters on one side. In such devices, the cross sec...
