| 摘要 |
The silicide-based thermoelectric power generation element (2) of the present invention comprises a thermoelectric converter (20) made from silicide, which is a compound of a metal element and Si, and a diffusion prevention layer (26) that is formed on part of the surface of the thermoelectric converter (20). The diffusion prevention layer (26) is a compound of an M1 element (where the M1 element is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ti, Cr, Ta, Mo, Al, V, Zr, Nb, Hf and W), and an M2 element (where the M2 element is one element selected from the group consisting of N, B and C). |
