Abstract
A silicon bulk thermoelectric conversion material having improved thermoelectric performance compared to conventional material is provided. Alternatively, a method for manufacturing a silicon bulk thermoelectric conversion material having improved thermoelectric performance by reducing thermal conductivity compared to the conventional method is provided. A silicon bulk thermoelectric conversion material according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing step of putting a silicon powder containing silicon nanoparticles between a first electrode member and a second electrode member of a heating unit, a heating step of heating the silicon powder by applying current while applying pressure equal to or less than 12 MPa between the first electrode member and the second electrode member and a cooling step of cooling the heated silicon powder.
