The present invention relates to a thermoelectric material, and more particularly to a P-type iron silicide thermoelectric material that can provide a large output. Thermoelectric materials that directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy have physical properties such as high thermoelectric power (Seebeck coefficient) and low specific resistance and thermal conductivity. In addition to the above-mentioned physical properties, thermoelectric materials that can be used in high-temperature atmospheres also have
It must also have chemical properties such as excellent heat resistance and oxidation resistance. A 3d-transition metal silicide can be cited as a material that fairly satisfies these conditions. Among these silicides, iron silicides in particular are excellent thermoelectric power generation materials in that they can provide a very large thermoelectromotive force (Patent No. 930733 by the present inventor). However, this silicide P-type thermoelectric material has a relatively high resistivity, and when used as a power source for a hot-air heater that uses gas or oil as a heat source, for example, it requires a large current to rotate the motor. The drawback was that it was not suitable for extracting electricity. An object of the present invention is to provide a P-type thermoelectric power generation material which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and allows a large output to be obtained without deteriorating the thermoelectromotive force of iron silicide. As a result of research to achieve the above object, the present invention contains manganese element (Mn) and aluminum element (Al) in iron silicide (FeSi 2 ), with manganese at 1.67 atomic %, and the total amount of manganese element and aluminum element It was discovered that an alloy or solid solution containing 2.0 to 5.4 at. Calculate the thermoelectromotive force, average specific resistance, and effective maximum output of thermoelectric power generation materials obtained by setting manganese to 1.67 at% in iron silicide (FeSi 2 ) and varying the content of manganese and aluminum elements. 1st
It was as shown in the table. In addition, for comparison, those containing only manganese and those containing small aluminum are also shown.

Note that these values were taken at a temperature difference of 800°C, and the average resistivity and effective maximum output correspond to the internal resistance and maximum output per unit volume, respectively. As can be seen from the results shown in Table 1, large output can be obtained without deterioration of thermoelectromotive force when the content of manganese element is 1.67 at% and the content of aluminum element is 0.33 to 3.03 at%. If the element content exceeds 3.03 at%, the thermoelectromotive force and output will decrease. Furthermore, if the content of the aluminum element is less than 0.33 atomic %, the thermoelectromotive force and output will match those of the one containing only the manganese element, and the effect of containing the aluminum element will not be exhibited. Therefore, the total content of manganese element and aluminum element needs to be in the range of 2.0 to 4.7 at%. The P-type thermoelectric power generation material of the present invention can be obtained in the shape of a cylinder or a prism by a general casting method, but it can be obtained using low-purity raw materials (recycled iron, metal silicon).
It is extremely difficult to obtain a product without casting holes (pinholes, bubbles) or minute cracks.
Therefore, it is preferable to manufacture such a product by powder metallurgy. The following examples are carried out using powder metallurgy methods. Examples Iron, metallic silicon (purity 98% or more), manganese,
Each raw material for aluminum is weighed to have a composition of Fe 0.95 Mn 0.05 Si 2-Z Al Z , and this mixture is melted using a high frequency melting furnace and cast into an iron mold to reduce the manganese element to 1.67 atomic%. , aluminum element
Iron silicide alloys containing 0.30-3.00 at% were prepared. Each of these alloys was made into powder of several μm using an iron stamp mill and a ball mill. This powder was sintered at 1060-1100℃ for 3 minutes under an argon atmosphere under a pressure of 250Kg/ cm2 , and then heat-treated at 800℃ for 50 hours to form a thermoelectric material (5×8×
25 mm 3 ) was obtained. The electromotive force, average specific resistance, and effective maximum output of the thermoelectric material were as shown in Table 1. According to the thermoelectric power generation material of the present invention, by including a specific amount of aluminum in addition to manganese in the iron silicide, a material having excellent thermoelectromotive force and output can be obtained.
