Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/021540
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Thermoelectric materials according to an embodiment of the present invention are a plurality of p-type and n-type thermoelectric materials which constitute a thermoelectric conversion element. Provided are thermoelectric materials, a thermoelectric conversion element using the same, and a thermoelectric module using the thermoelectric materials and thermoelectric conversion element, the thermoelectric materials being characterized in that: a primary phase is an MgAgAs crystal phase; internal defects of the plurality of thermoelectric materials constituting a single thermoelectric conversion element have an area ratio of 10% or less with respect to the total area of defective portions in a scanned surface on which an ultrasonic defect detection is performed in the thickness direction of the thermoelectric material; and the thermoelectric material comprises a sintered body which has no defect with a length of 800 μm or more on any vertex of cubic chips of the thermoelectric material.
