Abstract
Disclosed is a thermoelectric composite with high-entropy alloy dispersed including a thermoelectric material TE having a composition in a formula TE(x %)+M(y %), and high-entropy alloy particles M having a composition in the formula and dispersed in the thermoelectric material. In the formula, a volume ratio or a molar ratio x of the thermoelectric material to the thermoelectric composite is smaller than 100, and a volume ratio or a molar ratio y of the high-entropy alloy particles to the thermoelectric composite is greater than 0 and smaller than 20.
