As can be seen from the excellent coefficient expression, the larger the Seebeck coefficient and the electrical conductivity are, the smaller the thermal conductivity is, and the better the thermoelectric property of the material is. Wherein the seebeck coefficient is specifically expressed as: s ═ VS/△ T, wherein VS△ T is the temperature difference between two ends of the thermoelectric material, and the existing methods for measuring the thermoelectric performance in the micro-nano scale have the defect that the influence of the contact thermal resistance on the measurement result is difficult to eliminate, thereby causing additional measurement errors.
The inventor of the invention finds that the influence of the contact thermal resistance on the measurement result can be effectively reduced by a method for comprehensively measuring the thermal conductivity, the electric conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient of the one-dimensional micro-nano material through intensive research.

Furthermore, the direct current Seebeck voltage between the induction line and two lap joints of the sample to be measured can be measured, so that the thermal conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient of the sample to be measured can be obtained; and the conductivity of the sample to be detected can be obtained by utilizing a four-line structure (in a shape of Chinese character 'wang') formed by lapping, so that the thermoelectric property of the material can be comprehensively represented.
