THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR MODULE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a thermoelectric generator module including a set of module unit bodies disposed between a hot source and a cold source to serve as fundamental structures for performing thermoelectric power generation and a method of manufacturing the thermoelectric generator module. Each of the module unit bodies comprises: a first electrodes disposed at one of the hot source and the cold source; a second electrode disposed at the other of the hot source and the cold source so as to be spaced apart from the first electrodes; a first nanowire configured to interconnect the first electrode and the second electrode and composed of an n-type or p-type semiconductor; and a second nanowire.

1. A thermoelectric generator module including a set of module unit bodies disposed between a hot source and a cold source to serve as fundamental structures for performing thermoelectric power generation,
wherein each of the module unit bodies comprises:
a first electrode disposed at one of the hot source and the cold source;a second electrode disposed at the other of the hot source and the cold source so as to be spaced apart from the first electrodes;a first nanowire configured to interconnect the first electrode and the second electrode and composed of an n-type or p-type semiconductor; anda second nanowire composed of a conductor or semiconductor of a type different from the type of the semiconductor forming the first nanowire, the second nanowire being connected at one end thereof to the first electrode and connected at the other end thereof to a second electrode of another module unit body adjoining to the module unit body.
