Abstract
A thermoelectric material and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The thermoelectric material includes a mixture of nano-thermoelectric crystal particles, micron-thermoelectric crystal particles and nano-metal particles.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a thermoelectric material, comprising:
- forming nano-metal particles distributed on surfaces of the micron-thermoelectric grain particles, and then mixing nano-thermoelectric grain particles and the micron-thermoelectric grain particles having the nano-metal particles formed thereon to form a thermoelectric mixture;
- and
- sintering the thermoelectric mixture to form a thermoelectric material.
A thermoelectric material, comprising:
- micron-thermoelectric grain particles;
- nano-thermoelectric grain particles;
- and
- nano-metal particles, wherein the micron-thermoelectric grain particles, the nano-thermoelectric grain particles and the nano-metal particles are mixed together.
