[Object] To provide a thermoelectric generation cell using a safe and inexpensive general-purpose thermoelectric material. [Solving Means] A thermoelectric generation cell, including: a fire-resistant-material frame () that holds a plurality of stacked thermoelectric generation units in a state of being insulated from adjacent thermoelectric generation units with each other; a heating section () of a plurality of stacked bodies of the thermoelectric generation units, the heating section being provided to the fire-resistant-material frame; and first and second cooling insulation oil sections (and) that are provided at both sides of the fire-resistant-material frame, the first and second cooling insulation oil portions (and) being provided on sides of first and second cooling sections of the thermoelectric generation units, the thermoelectric generation cell having a structure in which the thermoelectric generation units are bridged while being extended between the first cooling insulation oil section, the fire-resistant-material frame, and the second cooling insulation oil section.
