Abstract:
A thermoelectric conversion element has a flexible base sheet provided with a thermoelectric conversion layer, a first electrode and a second electrode provided at longitudinal ends of the thermoelectric conversion layer, and a heat insulation layer provided on a back surface of the base sheet at a position overlapping the first electrode. Therefore, when the thermoelectric conversion element is attached to a heat-generating component, the first electrode is raised in height by the heat insulation layer so as to be disposed farther away from the heat-generating component than the second electrode, and moreover, thermal conduction from the heat-generating component is suppressed by the heat insulation layer. Accordingly, the temperature difference between one end of the thermoelectric conversion layer provided with the electrode and the other end of the thermoelectric conversion layer provided with the electrode can be increased, thereby increasing the power conversion efficiency of the thermoelectric conversion element.

Claim (Index 1):
A thermoelectric conversion element comprising:\n a thermoelectric conversion layer having flexibility; a first electrode provided at one end of the thermoelectric conversion layer; a second electrode provided at the other end of the thermoelectric conversion layer; and a heat insulation layer provided at a position overlapping the first electrode in a thickness direction of the thermoelectric conversion layer, wherein in a state where the heat insulation layer is attached to a heat-generating component, the thermoelectric conversion layer bends and deforms so that the first electrode is disposed farther away from the heat-generating component than the second electrode owing to the heat insulation layer.
