    Abstract: The present invention provides a thermoelectric conversion material represented by the following chemical formula Mg3+mAaBbD2-eEe. The element A represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr, Ba and Yb. The element B represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Mn and Zn. The value of m is not less than −0.39 and not more than 0.42. The value of a is not less than 0 and not more than 0.12. The value of b is not less than 0 and not more than 0.48. The element D represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Sb and Bi. The element E represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Se and Te. The value of e is not less than 0.001 and not more than 0.06. The thermoelectric conversion material has a La2O3 crystalline structure. The thermoelectric conversion material is of n-type. The present invention provides a novel thermoelectric conversion material.

    Abstract: A thermoelectric conversion device includes a reflecting member that has an opening portion through which radiant heat from a heat source passes, and a concave reflecting surface that reflects the radiant heat that has passed through the opening portion; a thermoelectric conversion member that converts heat into electric power; and a heat collector that is disposed between the reflecting member and the thermoelectric conversion member, and that is disposed such that at least a part of the heat collector faces the reflecting surface of the reflecting member. The heat collector includes a heat-collecting region that absorbs the radiant heat reflected by the reflecting surface of the reflecting member, and a heat transfer region that transfers the radiant heat absorbed by the heat-collecting region to the thermoelectric conversion member.

    Abstract: A thermoelectric conversion unit includes: a first fluid passage that has a first main surface and a second main surface and through which a first fluid flows; a second fluid passage through which a second fluid having a higher temperature than the first fluid flows; a pair of thermoelectric modules including a first thermoelectric module and a second thermoelectric module; and a pair of magnetic body portions disposed inside of or on a surface of the first fluid passage along a predetermined direction from the first main surface toward the second main surface. Each of the first and second thermoelectric modules generates an electromotive force based on a temperature difference between the first fluid and the second fluid. Magnetic bodies of the pair of magnetic body portions are disposed so that the same magnetic poles thereof face each other, and generate magnetic forces that repel each other.
