比較例1として、図3(a)及び図3(b)に示す熱電変換素子を作製した。図3(a)は比較例1の熱電変換素子を示す上面図であり、図3(b)は図3(a)のIIIb-IIIb断面を示す断面図である。図3(a)及び図3(b)に示す熱電変換素子30は、p型熱電変換層31とn型熱電変換層32とが支持体33上に離間して配置されており、p型熱電変換層31とn型熱電変換層32とは電極34によって電気的に接続されている。
ポリイミドフィルム上に幅10mm長さ2mmの銅テープ(寺岡製作所製)を貼り付けた。銅表面をニッケルメッキしたのち、さらにその上に金でメッキし、金電極を形成した。
金電極の中心に幅1mmのマスキングテープを貼りつけた。次いで、マスキングテープにより幅1mm長さ31mmの領域を、領域の中心と金電極の中心が一致するようにポリイミドフィルム上に形成した。この領域に、実施例1と同様にして調製した塗布液を塗工し、乾燥させ、マスキングテープを剥離した。次いで、実施例1と同様にして溶剤処理を行い、金電極を介して二つに分かれて形成されたp型熱電変換層を得た。
二つのp型熱電変換層の片方に、実施例1と同様にして調製したドーパント溶液を120μL滴下し、その後、60℃で30分間加熱乾燥させたのち、100℃で60分間加熱し、熱電変換素子6を得た。
(p型熱電変換層の形成)
塗布液の塗工範囲を幅10mm長さ31mmに変更したこと以外は、実施例1と同様の操作を行い、p型熱電変換層を得た。
二硫化チタン(高純度化学社製)2.9gとポリフッ化ビニリデンのN-メチル-2-ピロリドン溶液(樹脂濃度4質量%)3.9gとを混合し、撹拌温度30℃下にて自転公転式ミキサー(シンキー製「あわとり練太郎 ARE-310」)で撹拌処理(処理時間:10分間)して、二硫化チタン分散液を調製した。次いで、p型熱電変換層の長さ方向の端部1mmに重なるように、幅10mm×長さ31mmの領域に、二硫化チタン分散液を塗工し、80℃で120分間加熱し、溶媒を除去してn型熱電変換層を形成した。これにより、熱電変換素子7が得られた。
熱電変換素子1~7それぞれに対し、両端から2mmの位置にそれぞれプローブ1と2を接触させ、両端から5mmの位置にそれぞれプローブ3と4を接触させた。プローブ1と2の間に流れる電流を-10mA~10mAの間で掃引しながら、プローブ3と4の間の電圧を測定し、得られた電流-電圧の直線の傾きから素子の抵抗を算出した。結果を表1に示す。
