Patent ID: 11737363

Abstract:
A thermoelectric cell includes a thermoelectric body including heat-utilizing power generating elements in each of which a thermoelectric conversion layer and a solid electrolyte layer are layered, a conductive case including a first case body and a second case body and accommodating the thermoelectric body, an insulating member electrically insulating the first case body or the second case body or the second case body and the solid electrolyte layer on a side surface of the thermoelectric body while electrically insulating the first case body and the second case body, and a compressible conductor accommodated in the case and disposed between the thermoelectric body and the case. The first case body, the thermoelectric body, and the second case body are electrically connected in a stacked direction by disposing the compressible conductor on a side of at least one of the first case body and the second case body.
