Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a thermoelectric conversion device, in particular to a thermoelectric conversion device based on the thermal wave effect of carbon nanotubes. Background technique [0002] The thermal wave effect of carbon nanotubes (thermopower wave) refers to: when the fuel wrapped on the surface of carbon nanotubes burns, the surface of carbon nanotubes generates a burning surface that moves along the axial direction at high speed, causing high-energy lattice fluctuations inside it, and driving carbon nanotubes The electrons in the tube move in a directed manner, generating extremely high pulse currents. The current has a very high power output density (about 7KW / kg, 8MW / mm 3 ). However, since it can only produce single-pulse energy output, it cannot be practically applied. [0003] The heat wave effect can be applied to thermoelectric conversion devices, which are driven by combustion heat to provide power for electronic devices and exte...
