preparation example Construction

[0054] The invention provides a method for preparing a thermoelectric device. In order to further improve the conversion efficiency of the thermoelectric device, an anti-oxidation layer with strong adhesion, high density and good continuity is formed on the outer layer or outer layers by physical or chemical methods. Sublimation diffusion barrier protective layer, and this layer has the excellent performance of long service life and strong heat aging resistance.

[0055] The outside of the diffusion barrier protection layer is a thermal insulation layer composed of aerogel or aerogel composite material, while the inner layer and / or outer layer is one or more layers of metal layer, the metal transition layer can prevent The high-temperature volatilization of the Sb element can also increase the bonding strength between the oxide layer and the skutterudite material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoelectric power generation, and relates to the design and preparation of a thermoelectric conversion module. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for designing and manufacturing a thermoelectric device for power generation in a medium-high temperature region. The invention is especially suitable for the design and preparation method of the skutterudite-based thermoelectric module and device for power generation in the middle temperature region. Background technique [0002] As a functional material capable of directly converting heat and electricity, thermoelectric materials use their own Seebeck effect and Peltier effect to directly convert heat and electricity. Thermoelectric power generation and refrigeration devices based on thermoelectric materials have the advantages of small size, light weight, no mechanical transmission parts, and no noise during operation. They have br...
