Abstract:
The present invention provides thermoelectric conversion elements and thermoelectric conversion modules which are possible to effectively use oxide materials having high Seebeck coefficient, and excellently improve their outputs. The present invention provides thermoelectric conversion elements which comprise at least a charge transport layer, thermoelectric conversion material layers and electrodes, wherein the charge transport layer comprises a graphite treated to dope charge-donating materials so that the graphite has an n-type semiconductor property, or a graphite treated to dope charge-accepting materials so that the graphite has a p-type semiconductor property, and provides thermoelectric conversion modules using the thermoelectric conversion elements.

Claim (Index 7):
A thermoelectric conversion module comprising:\n at least one n-type thermoelectric conversion element including at least an n-type charge transport layer, n-type thermoelectric conversion material layers and electrodes, and the n-type thermoelectric conversion material layers are disposed on the both ends of the n-type charge transport layer, wherein the n-type charge transport layer comprises a surface of a graphite treated to dope charge-donating materials so that the surface has an n-type semiconductor property, and is used as a layer for transporting carriers between the n-type thermoelectric conversion material layers; and at least one p-type thermoelectric conversion element including at least a p-type charge transport layer, p-type thermoelectric conversion material layers and electrodes, and the p-type thermoelectric conversion material layers are disposed on the both ends of the p-type charge transport layer, wherein the p-type charge transport layer comprises a surface of a graphite treated to dope charge-accepting materials so that the surface has a p-type semiconductor property, and is used as a layer for transporting carriers between the p-type thermoelectric conversion material layers, and wherein the at least one n-type thermoelectric conversion element and the at least one p-type thermoelectric conversion element are connected in series or in parallel, or in a combination of series and parallel.
