Abstract

The invention relates to a solder sheet for connecting segmented thermoelectric devices and a preparation method thereof. The solder sheet has a three-layer structure of A / B / A, wherein A is a metal layer composed of low melting point components, and B is a low melting point component and high melting point components; the low melting point components are selected from at least one of lead and its alloys, tin and its alloys, indium and its alloys, zinc and its alloys, aluminum and its alloys, the The high melting point component is at least one element selected from titanium, chromium, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, germanium, zirconium, silver, gold, platinum, tellurium, antimony, niobium, and cobalt. The A / B / A three-layer structure welding sheet of the present invention is formed into a whole through pressure processing, can be cut freely, and can be conveniently used for the connection of thermoelectric materials and the connection between formed thermoelectric devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a welding piece for connecting segmented thermoelectric devices and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of thermoelectric power generation. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric power generation technology uses the Seebeck effect of thermoelectric semiconductor materials to directly convert heat energy into electrical energy. It has the characteristics of small system size, compact structure, no moving parts, maintenance-free, no noise, no emissions, high reliability and long life.
