Design of Compression-Type Thermoelectric Device Based on Flexible Contact Interface and Elastic Connection

  • 摘要: 热电器件在极端环境中的长期稳定服役对其连接结构提出了更高要求。本文设计开发了一种基于Bi2Te3–PbTe分段结构的压紧式热电器件,通过在高温端引入石墨与紫铜片组合的柔性电极,构建弹性自适应接触界面,有效缓解界面热应力和降低接触阻抗。同时,在低温端引入褶皱型欧姆环和弹簧滑套结构,实现P/N型热电臂的运动解耦,增强器件的热机械稳定性。结果表明:所制器件在450  K温差下,输出功率为14  W、热电转换效率为10%、质量比功率为9.33 W/kg,显著优于传统压紧式热电器件;在300~723  K下,所制器件经历250次热循环后性能无明显衰减,表现出优异的服役稳定性。

     

    Abstract: The long-term operational stability of thermoelectric devices in extreme environments places stringent demands on their interconnection structures. In this work, a clamped thermoelectric device based on a segmented Bi2Te3–PbTe architecture is developed. A flexible electrode composed of graphite and copper foil is introduced at the hot side to form an elastic, self-adaptive contact interface, effectively relieving interfacial thermal stress and reducing contact resistance. At the cold side, a corrugated ohmic ring and spring-loaded insulating sleeve are employed to decouple the motion of P- type and N-type thermoelectric legs, thereby enhancing the device’s thermomechanical stability. The fabricated device delivers an output power of 14 W, a conversion efficiency of 10%, and a power-to-mass ratio of 9.33 W/kg under a temperature difference of 450 K, significantly outperforming conventional clamped designs. Moreover, after 250 thermal cycles between 300 K and 723 K, the device exhibits no noticeable degradation, demonstrating excellent operational reliability.
