摘要:
A thermoelectric conversion module includes a p-type thermoelectric conversion member (111) and an n-type thermoelectric conversion member (112) that contain Sb, and an electrode member (120) that is joined to the p-type thermoelectric conversion member (111) and the n-type thermoelectric conversion member (112), composed of an alloy of Cu and a metal material M1 having a lower thermal expansion coefficient than that of Cu, and includes two or more crystalline phases composed of Cu and M1. Therefore, it is possible to improve durability while realizing the properties required for the thermoelectric conversion module.

A thermoelectric conversion material (10) according to an embodiment includes a plurality of parent-phase particles (22) and nanoparticles (30). The parent-phase particles (22) have a crystalline structure. Each of the nanoparticles (30) includes an oxide and exists at an interface between the parent-phase particles (22). The nanoparticles (30) include at least one element that constitutes the crystalline structure. When a range of 6 µm×4 µm of the thermoelectric conversion material (10) is observed with a scanning electron microscope to acquire one sheet of cross-sectional observation image, an average particle diameter d, which is an average of an equivalent circle diameter of a particle group including the parent-phase particles (22) and the nanoparticles (30) which are observed on the cross-sectional observation image, is equal to or more than 100 nm and equal to or less than 1000 nm.
