Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flexible thermoelectric element and a production method therefor, the flexible thermoelectric element comprising: a thermoelectric material column array including one or more N-type thermoelectric material and one or more P-type thermoelectric material which are spaced apart from each other; an electrode configured to electrically connect the thermoelectric materials of the thermoelectric material column array; and a foam configured to fill in at least a void of the thermoelectric material column array.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thermoelectric device and a manufacturing method thereof, and a thermoelectric material is formed on a mesh type substrate made of a glass fabric, and the like. According to the present invention, since the thermoelectric material is supported by a substrate without a substrate made of alumina, and the like, the thermoelectric device has a light weight and thermal loss is minimized by the substrate to maximize thermoelectric efficiency.
