THERMOELECTRIC MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric material which has fatigue strength for a desired use in tubular thermoelectric modules and at the same time has a high degree of efficiency in producing electrical energy from thermal energy of an exhaust gas or another hot medium.

SOLUTION: Fibers 4 particularly perform a function of influencing thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, tensile strength and/or extensibility of a thermoelectric material 1. The thermoelectric material 1 is used particularly in thermoelectric generators which are used e.g. in motor vehicles for converting thermal energy from an exhaust gas into electrical energy.
