Definitions
- the present invention relates to a thermoelectric material which is coated with a protective layer to prevent degradation by humidity, oxygen, chemicals or heat as well as a thermoelectric module comprising the thermoelectric material, as well as a process for preparing the thermoelectric material and module.
- Thermoelectric generators and Peltier arrangements as such have been known for some time, p- and n-doped semiconductors which are heated on one side and cooled on the other side transport electrical charges through an external circuit, and electrical work can be performed by a load in the circuit.
- the efficiency of conversion of heat to electrical energy achieved in this process is limited thermodynamically by the Carnot efficiency.
- an efficiency of (1000 - 400) : 1000 60% would be possible.
- only efficiencies of up to 6% have been achieved to date.
- thermoelectric generators are used, for example, in space probes for generating direct currents, for cathodic corrosion protection of pipelines, for energy supply to light buoys and radio buoys and for operating radios and television sets.
- the advantages of thermoelectric generators lie in their extreme reliability. For instance, they work irrespective of atmospheric conditions such as atmospheric moisture; there is no fault-prone mass transfer, but rather only charge transfer. It is possible to use any fuels from hydrogen through natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel up to biologically obtained fuels such as rapeseed oil methyl ester.
- thermoelectric energy conversion thus fits extremely flexibly into future requirements such as hydrogen economy or energy generation from renewable energies.
- a particularly attractive application is the use for converting (waste) heat to electrical energy in motor vehicles, heating systems or power plants.
- Thermal energy unutilized to date can even now be recovered at least partly by thermoelectric generators, but existing technologies achieve efficiencies of significantly below 10%, and so a large part of the energy is still lost unutilized. In the utilization of waste heat, there is therefore also a drive toward significantly higher efficiencies.
- Concentrators such as parabolic troughs can concentrate solar energy into ther- moelectric generators, which generates electrical energy.
- thermoelectrically active materials are rated essentially with reference to their effi- ciency.
- a characteristic of thermoelectric materials in this regard is what is known as the Z factor (figure of merit):
- thermoelectric materials which have a very low thermal conductivity, a very high electrical conductivity and a very large Seebeck coefficient, such that the figure of merit assumes a maximum value.
- the product S 2 ⁇ is referred to as the power factor and serves for comparison of the thermoelectric materials.
- the dimensionless product Z • T is often also reported for comparative purposes.
- Thermoelectric materials known hitherto have maximum values of Z • T of about 1 at an optimal temperature. Beyond this optimal temperature, the values of Z • T are often significantly lower than 1.
- thermoelectric material having a maximum value of Z and a high realizable temperature difference. From the point of view of solid state physics, many problems have to be overcome here:
- a high ⁇ requires a high electron mobility in the material, i.e. electrons (or holes in p- conducting materials) must not be bound strongly to the atomic cores.
- Materials having high electrical conductivity ⁇ usually also have a high thermal conductivity (Wiedemann - Franz law), which does not allow Z to be favourably influenced.
- thermoelectric materials having high efficiency still further boundary conditions preferably have to be fulfilled. For instance, they have to be sufficiently thermally stable to be able to work under operating conditions over the course of years without significant loss of efficiency. This requires a phase which is thermally stable at high temperatures per se, a stable phase composition, and negligible diffusion of alloy constituents into the adjoining contact materials.
- thermoelectric module the metals/semiconductor materials are joined together by electrodes (for transportation of the generated current) and electrically isolated from other external parts.
- the electrodes are supported by an electrical insulator material which should allow for a good heat flow from a heat source to the thermoelectric material.
- thermoelectric modules incorporate ceramic plates, made for example of SiO 2 , AI 2 O 3 or AIN as supports having electrical insulating properties in order to prevent short-circuiting of the generated voltages.
- Ceramic plates made for example of SiO 2 , AI 2 O 3 or AIN as supports having electrical insulating properties in order to prevent short-circuiting of the generated voltages.
- Crucially for a good heat flow from the heat source to the thermoelectric materials is a good thermally conductive substrate and an excellent joining of the parts for a minimal heat loss.
- several applications for example applications with mobile or vibrating parts, require also good mechanical stability of the module and its parts.
- thermoelectric materials oxidise at temperatures above 400 0 C, which additionally diminishes the efficiency and durability of thermoelectric devices.
- a system is needed that minimises oxidation, sublimation and contamination of the thermoelectric material in a thermoelectric module.

Furthermore, it was found that aerogels can be also successfully used as additives in the formulation applied as protective layer.
- the protective layer may also be or comprise a metal or a metal alloy, a semimetal, a semiconductor, graphite, electrically conductive ceramics or combinations thereof, preferably a metal or a metal alloy.

- the glass gives a uniform coating, and the incorporated ceramic particles enable a thermal expansion without the formation of cracks. Because of the low thermal conductivity of glass (1 W/mK) compared to ceramics (e.g. 30 VWmK for alumina) a high proportion of glass is desirable to minimise the heat shunt.

For example, a thin layer of Pt was deposited to protect the thermoelectric material legs, followed by a Ni-layer which adheres better to Pt than to PbTe materials.

- the electrodes can be applied either on the isolated substrate or on the thermoelectric materials.
- the matrix consists of a material or material mixture with low thermal conductivity, so that the heat flows through the thermoelectric material and not through the matrix. While the above materials are preferred, any non-conductive material with low thermal conductivity may be employed.
