THERMOELECTRIC MODULE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THERMOELECTRIC MODULE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric module which allows reliable operation with high temperature differences and is simple to produce or to further process.

SOLUTION: In a thermoelectric module 10 for converting energy between thermal energy and electrical energy, at least one thermoelectric element 1, 2 has a first surface 13 and a second surface 14 opposite the first surface 13. The thermoelectric module 10 further has a first electrode 3 having at least a first region 17 which is arranged directly on the first surface 13 and a second electrode 4 having at least a second region 18 which is arranged directly on the second surface 14. At least one of the first region 17 and the second region 18 has a metal alloy which exhibits an Invar effect.
