With the recent spread of mobile electronic devices, there is a growing demand for the development of compact power generation devices that can be used on an individual basis in times of disaster. In this study, we fabricated a power generation device that combines a micro-combustor with a Bi-Te thermoelectric device using a porous platinum catalyst and investigated its power generation and final conversion efficiency. The correlation between the combustion efficiency of the combustor and the sintering conditions was investigated, and the operating conditions that maximize the efficiency were discussed.
