Patent ID: 11522114

Abstract:
The present invention provides: a thermoelectric conversion material capable of being produced in a simplified manner and at a lower cost and excellent in thermoelectric performance and flexibility, and a method for producing the material. The thermoelectric conversion material has, on a support, a thin film of a thermoelectric semiconductor composition containing thermoelectric semiconductor fine particles, a heat-resistant resin and an inorganic ionic compound. The method for producing a thermoelectric conversion material having, on a support, a thin film of a thermoelectric semiconductor composition containing thermoelectric semiconductor fine particles, a heat-resistant resin and an inorganic ionic compound includes a step of applying a thermoelectric semiconductor composition containing thermoelectric semiconductor fine particles, a heat-resistant resin and an inorganic ionic compound onto a support and drying it to form a thin film thereon, and a step of annealing the thin film.
