preparation example Construction

[0313] The thermoelectric conversion performance of the thermoelectric conversion element can be improved by using a conjugated polymer together with a non-conjugated polymer in the preparation of the dispersion for the thermoelectric conversion layer. The mechanism is not yet clear, but it is speculated to be due to: (1) the gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO; Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) energy level and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO; Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) energy level of the non-conjugated polymer The (energy band gap) is wide, so considering that the carrier concentration in the conjugated polymer can be kept moderately low, the Seebeck coefficient can be kept at a high level compared with a system that does not contain a non-conjugated polymer; ( 2) On the other hand, the coexistence of conjugated polymers and nano-conductive materials can form a transport path for carriers and maintain high conductivity. That is...

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a thermoelectric conversion element which has, on a substrate, a first electrode, a thermoelectric conversion layer and a second electrode. This method for manufacturing a thermoelectric conversion element comprises: a step wherein at least a conductive nanomaterial and a dispersion medium are subjected to a high-speed thin film spin system dispersion method, so that a dispersion for thermoelectric conversion layers containing the conductive nanomaterial is prepared; and a step wherein the thus-prepared dispersion for thermoelectric conversion layers is applied over the substrate and dried thereon. A method for producing a dispersion for thermoelectric conversion layers, wherein at least a conductive nanomaterial and a dispersion medium are subjected to a high-speed thin film spin system dispersion method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a thermoelectric conversion element and a method for producing a dispersion for a thermoelectric conversion layer. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in the field of electronics such as thermoelectric conversion elements, high-conductivity carbon nanotubes and the like have attracted attention as new conductive materials that replace existing inorganic materials such as ITO (indium tin oxide). [0003] However, these nano-sized conductive materials (hereinafter referred to as nano-conductive materials), especially carbon nanotubes, tend to aggregate and thus have poor dispersibility in dispersion media, and improvement of dispersibility is desired when used as a conductive material. [0004] For example, as a method for improving the dispersibility of carbon nanotubes in a dispersion medium, the following methods can be mentioned: the method of using a specific carbon fiber dispersant ...
