Description
この発明は、クラスレート化合物を利用したセグメント型熱電発電モジュールに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a segment type thermoelectric power generation module using a clathrate compound.
熱電発電モジュールの単位構造は、図4に示すように高温側電極1と低温側電極2、3との間にp型熱電変換素子4とn型熱電変換素子5を配置したものである。
このような熱電発電モジュールへの熱入力Qにより、両電極に温度差をつけたまま保持すると、p型熱電変換素子4では正孔が、n型熱電変換素子5では電子が、高温側から低温側に移動し、p型熱電変換素子4が配置された低温側電極2からn型熱電変換素子5が配置された低温側電極3に向かって電流が流れ電気出力Pが得られる。
この時、熱電発電モジュールの変換効率ηは、η=P/Qとなる。
なお、通常は昇圧のために、この組み合わせを多段に直接接続する。
As shown in FIG. 4, the unit structure of the thermoelectric power generation module is such that a p-type thermoelectric conversion element 4 and an n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5 are arranged between the high temperature side electrodes 1 and the low temperature side electrodes 2 and 3.
When the two electrodes are held with a temperature difference due to the heat input Q to the thermoelectric power generation module, holes are generated in the p-type thermoelectric conversion element 4 and electrons are generated in the n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5 from the high temperature side to the low temperature. Moving to the side, a current flows from the low temperature side electrode 2 where the p-type thermoelectric conversion element 4 is arranged to the low temperature side electrode 3 where the n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5 is arranged, and an electric output P is obtained.
At this time, the conversion efficiency η of the thermoelectric power generation module is η = P / Q.
Normally, this combination is directly connected in multiple stages for boosting.
熱電発電モジュールの変換効率ηは、概して温度差ΔTと熱電変換素子の性能指数ZTの積に比例する。
ここで、熱電変換素子の性能指数ZTは、通常図5のように山型の温度依存性を有するとともに、材料によってZTが最大となる温度が異なっている。
したがって、図6のようにp型熱電変換素子4とn型熱電変換素子5の高温側に高温帯でZTが最大となる材料6、8を配置し、低温側に低温帯でZTが最大となる材料7、9を配置するとΔTとZTの積が大きくなり、図4のような単一の材料を用いる熱電発電モジュールよりも変換効率ηが高くなる。
このような熱電発電モジュールをセグメント型熱電発電モジュールと呼んでおり、特許文献1(特開2002−84005号公報)にも開示されている(特に、段落0040〜0041及び図10、11を参照)。
また、その後の研究により、種々の熱電材料を組み合わせることによって、11〜12%の高い変換効率の得られるセグメント型熱電発電モジュールも開発されてきている。
The conversion efficiency η of the thermoelectric power generation module is generally proportional to the product of the temperature difference ΔT and the figure of merit ZT of the thermoelectric conversion element.
Here, the figure of merit ZT of the thermoelectric conversion element usually has a mountain-shaped temperature dependence as shown in FIG. 5, and the temperature at which ZT is maximized differs depending on the material.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, materials 6 and 8 having the maximum ZT in the high temperature zone are arranged on the high temperature side of the p-type thermoelectric conversion element 4 and the n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5, and ZT is the maximum in the low temperature zone on the low temperature side. When the materials 7 and 9 are arranged, the product of ΔT and ZT becomes large, and the conversion efficiency η becomes higher than that of the thermoelectric power generation module using a single material as shown in FIG.
Such a thermoelectric power generation module is called a segment type thermoelectric power generation module, and is also disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-84005) (in particular, see paragraphs 0040 to 0041 and FIGS. 10 and 11). ..
Further, as a result of subsequent research, a segment type thermoelectric power generation module capable of obtaining a high conversion efficiency of 11 to 12% by combining various thermoelectric materials has been developed.
本発明者らは、この発明に先立ち図7に示すように、p型熱電変換素子4とn型熱電変換素子5の高温側に、材料6、8としてクラスレート化合物であるBa8(Ga,Ge)46(BGG、タイプ1)を用いるとともに、p型熱電変換素子4とn型熱電変換素子5の低温側に材料7、9として同じくクラスレート化合物であるBa8(Ga,Sn)46(BGT、タイプ8)を用いたセグメント型熱電発電モジュール(非特許文献1を参照)を開発した。
なお、BGGにおいてはGaとGeの配合比率によって、BGTにおいてはGaとSnの配合比率によって、p型となるかn型となるかが決まる。
例えば、Ba8Ga16Ge30及びBa8Ga18Ge28はp型、Ba8Ga14Ge32及びBa8Ga15Ge31はn型となり、Ba8Ga16Sn30及びBa8Ga18Sn28はp型、Ba8Ga14Sn32及びBa8Ga15Sn31はn型となる。
そして、このセグメント型熱電発電モジュールは、ΔT=570Kにおいてη=7.4%の変換効率を達成している。
Prior to the present invention, the present inventors have set Ba 8 (Ga, Ga, which is a clathrate compound as materials 6 and 8) on the high temperature side of the p-type thermoelectric conversion element 4 and the n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5 as shown in FIG. Ba 8 (Ga, Sn) 46 (Ge) 46 (BGG, type 1), which is also a clathrate compound as materials 7 and 9 on the low temperature side of the p-type thermoelectric conversion element 4 and the n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5, is used. A segment type thermoelectric power generation module (see Non-Patent Document 1) using BGT, type 8) was developed.
In BGG, the blending ratio of Ga and Ge determines whether it is p-type or n-type in BGT, depending on the blending ratio of Ga and Sn.
For example, Ba 8 Ga 16 Ge 30 and Ba 8 Ga 18 Ge 28 are p-type, Ba 8 Ga 14 Ge 32 and Ba 8 Ga 15 Ge 31 are n-type, and Ba 8 Ga 16 Sn 30 and Ba 8 Ga 18 Sn 28. Is p-type, and Ba 8 Ga 14 Sn 32 and Ba 8 Ga 15 Sn 31 are n-type.
The segment type thermoelectric power generation module achieves a conversion efficiency of η = 7.4% at ΔT = 570K.
しかし、これまでのところ、高い変換効率の得られるセグメント型熱電発電モジュールは、いずれもPb、Te、Sb等の環境負荷物質を母体元素とする熱電材料を利用しているため実用化が困難であった。
この発明は、環境負荷物質を含まないクラスレート化合物を用いるセグメント型熱電発電モジュールでありながら、環境負荷物質を含むセグメント型熱電発電モジュールに匹敵する変換効率の達成を課題としてなされたものである。
However, so far, it is difficult to put into practical use the segment type thermoelectric power generation modules that can obtain high conversion efficiency because they all use thermoelectric materials whose parent elements are environmentally hazardous substances such as Pb, Te, and Sb. there were.
The present invention has been made as an object to achieve a conversion efficiency comparable to that of a segment type thermoelectric power generation module containing an environmentally hazardous substance, while being a segment type thermoelectric power generation module using a clathrate compound containing no environmentally harmful substance.

In particular, when the high temperature side of the n-type thermoelectric conversion element is a type 9 clathrate compound represented by any of the composition formulas (3) to (5), the composition formula (6) or ( Since the contact resistance with the type 2 clathrate compound represented by 7) can be made very small, there is a possibility that a segment type thermoelectric power generation module having high conversion efficiency can be provided.

次に、実施例1におけるn型熱電変換素子5の高温側材料に(K,Ba)8(Ga,Ge)46のタイプ1クラスレート化合物を用い、Kの組成比率を2.7、3.1、6.2に調整して、低温側材料との接触抵抗を測定した。
この測定は、クラスレート化合物を用いるセグメント型熱電発電モジュールにおいて、変換効率を上げるにはn型熱電変換素子の高温側材料と低温側材料との接触抵抗の低減が重要であることを考慮して行った。
その結果、K=2.7では0.1〜0.2Ω、K=3.1では0.1Ω、K=6.2では0.04〜0.06Ωとなり、K=6.2とすることで接触抵抗を最も小さくできることが分かった。
また、実施例2におけるn型熱電変換素子5についても、低温側材料(タイプ2クラスレート化合物)と高温側材料(タイプ9クラスレート化合物)との接触抵抗を測定したところ、0.003〜0.01Ωと接触抵抗が非常に小さいことも分かった。
Next, a type 1 clathrate compound of (K, Ba) 8 (Ga, Ge) 46 was used as the material on the high temperature side of the n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5 in Example 1, and the composition ratio of K was set to 2.7, 3.1, 6.2. After adjustment, the contact resistance with the low temperature side material was measured.
This measurement takes into consideration that it is important to reduce the contact resistance between the high temperature side material and the low temperature side material of the n-type thermoelectric conversion element in order to improve the conversion efficiency in the segment type thermoelectric power generation module using the clathrate compound. went.
As a result, it was found that the contact resistance can be minimized by setting K = 2.7 to 0.1 to 0.2Ω, K = 3.1 to 0.1Ω, and K = 6.2 to 0.04 to 0.06Ω, and K = 6.2.
Further, regarding the n-type thermoelectric conversion element 5 in Example 2, the contact resistance between the low temperature side material (type 2 clathrate compound) and the high temperature side material (type 9 clathrate compound) was measured and found to be 0.003 to 0.01Ω. It was also found that the contact resistance was very small.
