PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric conversion module which has a higher thermal resistance, an economical molding method such as the extrusion molding method can be applied to, can easily be processed, has good adhesion to a thermal-sprayed electrode, and is formed using a structural formwork member capable of enhancing the reliability and the conversion efficiency of the thermoelectric conversion module, and to provide a manufacturing method thereof. SOLUTION: This thermoelectric conversion module comprises an electrically and thermally insulating structural formwork member 1 provided with a plurality of through holes, p-type thermoelectric elements 10 and n-type thermoelectric elements 11 alternately arranged in the through holes in the mold, and thermal-sprayed electrodes 13 provided to alternately and electrically connect the p-type thermoelectric elements and n-type thermoelectric elements in series. As the structural formwork member, a ceramic-made structural formwork member formed of a ceramic material is used. In addition, when the thermoelectric conversion modules are formed, the ceramic-made structural formwork member is used. When the thermal-sprayed electrodes are formed, a resin-made mask having openings made in electrode pattern is used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
