Abstract
The present invention provides a thermoelectric conversion module which can utilize sunlight and solar heat by using high output charge-transport-type thermoelectric conversion elements. The present invention provides A thermoelectric conversion module which comprises at least a thermoelectric conversion module-element in which charge-transport-type thermoelectric conversion elements are formed and a photothermal conversion substrate containing photothermal conversion material, wherein the thermoelectric conversion module-element comprises an insulating substrate, and n-type and/or p-type charge-transport-type thermoelectric conversion elements are formed on the insulating substrate, wherein the charge-transport-type thermoelectric conversion element comprises a charge transport layer and thermoelectric conversion material layers and electrodes, wherein the photothermal conversion substrate is disposed so that it absorbs external light and converts it into heat and transfers the heat to the electrodes or the thermoelectric conversion material layers disposed on the charge transport layers.
