Various types of automobile exhaust waste heat generation devices at present are complex in process, high in cost, low in integration level, large in size and low in heat-electricity conversion efficiency. The invention discloses a thermopile which is high in integration level, simple in structure, low in cost and high in reliability; the invention also discloses an automobile exhaust waste heat generation and refrigeration device employing the thermopile as a core part for generation and refrigeration. P-type thermocouple arms formed in the shape of a rectangular cylinder and N-type thermocouple arms are arranged in a staggered manner. A heat-insulation and insulting film material is arranged between the adjacent thermocouple arms in an attaching manner for isolation, so that the convection of air is eliminated, the defect of the reduction of the temperature difference between cold and hot surfaces caused by radiation is overcome, and the heat-electricity conversion efficiency is improved. The electric connection between the thermocouple arms is achieved through flexible heat-conduction and electric-conduction materials, so that a thermal stress is alleviated, the adverse effect of the thermal stress on a product is eliminated, and the problem that the reliability and the service life of the product are affected seriously, caused by the deformation and cracking of the thermopile and falling of welding spots between the thermocouple arms which are caused by the thermal stress, is solved.
