摘要： A net for a thermoelectric module, the net comprising:
an electrically insulating substrate;
a plurality of thermoelectric elements disposed on the substrate, the plurality of thermoelectric elements comprising one or more n-type thermoelectric elements and one or more p-type thermoelectric elements; and
one or more electrical interconnects disposed on the substrate, each electrical interconnect providing an electrical connection between a first thermoelectric element and a second thermoelectric element, wherein the first thermoelectric element is one of an n-type or a p-type thermoelectric element and the second thermoelectric element is the other of an n-type or a p-type thermoelectric element;
wherein the substrate comprises a single sheet of material with one or more fold lines extending at least partially across the substrate, wherein the one or more fold lines are arranged such that folding the substrate along the one or more fold lines forms an at least partially open network structure.
