Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a high-efficiency thermoelectric converter for directly converting thermal energy at as high as 2000K generated by solar energy or nuclear energy as the power supplies for space station, satellite, moon surface base or deep space investigation to the electric energy. CONSTITUTION:Within converter, a thermoelectronic converter 1 and thermoelectric converter are used and an oblique structural materials as the thermoelectric conversion material. Furthermore, the thermoelectric converter is divided into parts if necessary from the high to low temperature parts so that these thermoelectric conversion materials in respective parts may be composed of the carrier concentration controlled materials corresponding to the partial temperature region or the oblique structural material in different materials thereby enabling respective temperature regions to be given the high electrical generating efficiency.
