Regular Paper : Thermoelectric Characteristics of a Thermoelectric Module Consisting of Chalcogenide Nanoparticles and Glass Fibers

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we fabricated a thermoelectric module made of nanoparticles (NPs) and glass fibers investigated its thermoelectric characteristics. P-type HgTe and n-type HgSe NPs synthesized by colloidal method were used as thermoelectric materials and glass fibers were used as spacers between the hot and cold electrodes of the thermoelectric module. In the module, the average Seebeck coefficients of the HgTe and HgSe NPs were 1260 and -628 μV/K, respectively. The p-n module generated about a voltage of 11.9 mV and showed a power density of 1.6×10-5 μW/cm2 at a temperature difference of 7.5 K.
