The invention relates to block thermoelectric material. The
chemical formula of the thermoelectric material is (Cu2-xHAx) (Sel-y (L / 2)My), wherein x<=0.15, 0<=y<=0.1, H is the valence of the element A, L is the valence of the element M, the element A is any one of Al, Mn, Co, Ni, Ga, Mo, W, Zr and Nb, and the element M is any one of N and Si. The
performance factor ZT of the thermoelectric material is 2-3 at the temperature of 580-680 DEG C. By certain fabrication
processing of the thermoelectric material, the block material can be obtained, wherein the
performance factor ZT of the block material is 2-3 at the temperature of 580-680 DEG C, and the block material is suitable for business application. As everyone knows, improvement of the
performance factor ZT of the thermoelectric material by 0.4 is great performance, moreover the performance factor ZT is improved by 1.4 to the greatest extent, and the
working temperature range is as wide as 100 DEG C. The thermoelectric properties of the thermoelectric material already reaches the requirements of the business application, the performance factor ZT is 2-3 at the temperature of 580-680 DEG C, and the range of
electricity generating temperature is wide.
