Thermoelectric power generation based on the Seebeck effect, in which a temperature difference generates an electromotive force, can convert thermal energy into electrical energy. In this study, conductive graphitic carbon structures were fabricated by laser-induced graphitization of marine-biodegradable polymers, and thermoelectric power generation using the fabricated structures was experimentally demonstrated. An electromotive force was generated by applying a temperature difference between both ends of the fabricated structure. The potential difference increased with an increase in the temperature difference. The fabricated structure exhibited p-type thermoelectric property.
