Ga填充n型方钴矿化合物的结构及热电性能

用熔融退火结合放电等离子烧结(SPS)技术制备了具有不同Ga填充含量的Ga_xCo₄Sb₁₂方钴矿化合物,研究了不同Ga含量对其热电传输特性的影响规律. Rietveld结构解析表明,Ga占据晶体学2a空洞位置,Ga填充上限约为0.22,当Ga的名义组成x≤0.25时,样品的电导率、室温载流子浓度N_p随Ga含量的增加而增加,Seebeck系数随Ga含量的增加而减小. 室温下霍尔测试表明,每一个Ga授予框架0.9个电子,比Ga的氧化价态Ga³⁺小得多. 由于Ga离子半径相对较小,致使Ga填充方钴矿化合物的热导率κ及晶格热导率κ_L较其他元素填充的方钴矿化合物低. 当x＝0.22时对应的样品在300K时的热导率和晶格热导率分别为3.05Wm^-1·K^-1和 2.86Wm^-1·K^-1.在600K下Ga_0.22Co_4.0Sb_12.0样品晶格热导率达到最小,为1.83Wm^-1·K^-1,最大热电优值Z,在560K处达1.31×10^-3K^-1. 关键词： skutterudite化合物 Ga原子填充 结构 热电性能

Cu掺杂AgSbTe2化合物的相稳定、晶体结构及热电性能

利用熔融快淬结合放电等离子烧结(SPS), 制备了Cu_xAg_1-xSbTe₂(x= 0---0.3)样品. 粉末X射线衍射(XRD)分析结果显示, SPS处理以前, 含Cu样品形成NaCl型结构的固溶体, 而未加入Cu的样品析出Ag₂Te第二相. 根据热分析和XRD测量结果, Cu的加入能够有效抑制Ag₂Te的析出, 但同时会在快淬样品中产生少量非晶相. 在温度升高到540 K左右时, 非晶相发生晶化, 形成Sb₇Te亚稳相, 并最终转变成Sb₂Te₃稳定相. 对快淬样品进行低温SPS快速处理后, x =0.1样品为面心立方结构的单相化合物, 但是x =0.2, 0.3的样品分别析出第二相Sb₇Te和Sb₂Te₃. 由于析出第二相, x=0.2, 0.3样品的电导率增大, Seebeck系数减小, 热导率相应升高, 综合热电性能降低. x=0.1单相样品的功率因子与文献报道的AgSbTe₂化合物相当. 元素替代的合金化效应 增强了Cu_0.1Ag_0.9SbTe₂化合物的声子散射, 有效降低了样品的热导率. 因此, 单相样品Cu_0.1Ag_0.9SbTe₂表现出较佳的热电性能, 在620 K时热电优值达到1.     

Synthesis and thermoelectric properties of Mn-doped AgSbTe2 compounds

Polycrystalline p-type Ag 0.9 Sb 1.1 x Mn x Te 2.05（x = 0.05,0.10,and 0.20） compounds have been prepared by a combined process of melt-quenching and spark plasma sintering.The sample composition of Ag 0.9 Sb 1.1 x Mn x Te 2.05 has been specially designed in order to achieve the doping effect by replacing part of Sb with Mn and to present the uniformly dispersed Ag 2 Te phase in the matrix by adding insufficient Te,which is beneficial for optimizing the electrical transport properties and enhancing the phonon scattering effect.All the samples have the NaCl-type structure according to our X-ray powder diffraction analysis.After the treatment of spark plasma sintering,only the sample with x = 0.20 has a small amount of MnTe 2 impurities.The thermal analysis indicates that a tiny amount of Ag 2 Te phase exists in all these samples.The presence of the MnTe 2 impurity with high resistance and high thermal conductivity leads to the deteriorative thermoelectric performance of the sample with x = 0.20 due to the decreased electrical transport properties and the increased thermal conductivity.In contrast,the sample with x = 0.10 exhibits enhanced thermoeletric properties due to the Mn-doping effect.A dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit of 1.2 is attained for the sample with x = 0.10 at 573 K,showing promising thermoelectric properties in the medium temperature range.     

Si含量对高锰硅化合物相组成及热电性能的影响研究

Evaluation of Thermoelectric Properties of Ag0.366Sb0.558Te

Ternary AgSbTe₂ materials are frequently reported to show a promising thermoelectric performance, due to the intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity and complex valence band structure. However, stoichiometric AgSbTe₂ is found to be thermodynamically unstable and would partially decompose into Ag₂Te and Sb₂Te₃ during thermal cycling. Instead, Ag_0.366Sb_0.558Te is the composition for stabilizing the single-phase according to the Ag₂Te-Sb₂Te₃ phase diagram, while the thermoelectric transport properties have rarely been reported and are the focus of this work. Sn/Sb substitution is found to effectively increase not only the carrier concentration from ≈5 × 10¹⁹ cm⁻³ to ≈4 × 10²¹ cm⁻³, but also the density-of-states effective mass, leading to an enhanced Seebeck coefficient along with a decreased carrier mobility. Single parabolic band (SPB) model with acoustic phonon scattering enables a good understanding on the charge transport. The increased carrier concentration effectively suppresses the bipolar effect at high temperatures. As a result, a peak zT of ≈1.3 and an average of ≈0.9 are achieved.     

Crystal structure, electronic and transport properties of AgSbSe2 and AgSbTe2

Undoped and p- and n-doped AgSbX₂ (X=Se and Te) materials were synthesized by direct fusion technique. The structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction and SEM microscopy. The electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient have been measured as a function of temperature in the range from 300 to 600 K.To enlighten electron transport behaviours observed in AgSbSe₂ and AgSbTe₂ compounds, electronic structure calculations have been performed by the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method as well as KKR with coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA) for ordered (hypothetical AgX and SbX as well as AgSbX₂ approximates) and disordered systems (Ag_1−xSb_xX), respectively. The calculated density of states in the considered structural cases shows apparent tendencies to opening the energy gap near the Fermi level for the stoichiometric AgSbX₂ compositions, but a small overlap between valence and conduction bands is still present. Such electronic structure behaviour well agrees with the semimetallic properties of the analyzed samples.     

Thermoelectric properties of Cr1−xMoxSi2

The thermoelectric properties of Mo-substituted CrSi₂ were studied. Dense polycrystalline samples of Mo-substituted hexagonal C40 phase Cr_1−xMo_xSi₂ (x=0–0.30) were fabricated by arc melting followed by spark plasma sintering. Mo substitution substantially increases the carrier concentration. The lattice thermal conductivity of CrSi₂ at room temperature was reduced from 9.0 to 4.5 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ by Mo substitution due to enhanced phonon–impurity scattering. The thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, increases with increasing Mo content because of the reduced lattice thermal conductivity. The maximum ZT value obtained in the present study was 0.23 at 800 K, which was observed for the sample with x=0.30. This value is significantly greater than that of undoped CrSi₂ (ZT=0.13).     

Study on electrical conductivity and phase transition in singly doped BIPBVOX (Bi2V1−xPbxO5.5−x/2) solid electrolyte

Samples of bismuth lead vanadium oxide (BIPBVOX) (Bi₂V_1–xPb_xO_5.5–x/2) singly substituted system in the composition range 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.20 were prepared by sol–gel synthesis route. Structural investigations were carried out by using a combination of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDXA) of doped samples was carried out to predict the sample purity and doping concentration. Transitions, α?β, β?γ and γ′?γ were detected by XRD, DTA and variation in the Arrhenius plots of conductivity. The ionic conductivity was measured by AC impedance spectroscopy. The solid solutions with composition x ≤ 0.07 undergo α?β phase transition, at 329 °C and β?γ phase transition at 419 °C. The highly conducting γ′-phase was effectively stabilized at room temperature for compositions with x ≥ 0.17 whose thermal stability increases with Pb content. At 300 °C, the highest value of conductivity 6.234 × 10^?5 S cm^?1 was obtained for composition x = 0.15 and at 600 °C the highest value of conductivity 0.65 S cm^?1 is observed for x = 0.17. AC impedance plots reveal that the conductivity is mainly due to the grain contribution to oxide ion conductivity.

Influence of nanocrystalline phases on the electrical properties of lithium titanate phosphate glass ceramics mixed with Ga2O3 nanocrystals

Several glass ceramic compositions dispersed with Ga₂O₃ nanocrystals, in the series samples (100???x)[0.4Li₂O–0.1TiO₂–0.5P₂O₅]?+?xGa₂O₃ with x?=?0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10?mol% of Ga₂O₃ were synthesized via high-energy ball milling technique and labeled as lithium gallium titanate phosphate glass (LTPG _x ) (x is the mol% of Ga₂O₃ nanocrystals). The compositions have been selected on the basis of thermal stability data obtained from differential thermal analysis. X-ray diffraction studies indicate nanocrystalline phase formation in the controlled crystallized glasses. The variation of electrical conductivity was explained in the light of growth of nanocrystalline phases. The best bulk conductivity (σ?=?7.03?×?10^?4?S?cm^?1, at 303?K) was achieved by the sample containing 8?mol% of Ga₂O₃ nanocrystals content, labeled as LTPG₈ sample. The activation energy for conduction (E_{a σ} ) is obtained from the temperature dependent of conductivity data, which is fitted to Arrhenius equation. The single super curve in the scaling spectra suggested the temperature-independent relaxation phenomenon.     

Sn-based type-VIII single-crystal clathrates with a large figure of merit

Single-crystal samples of type-VIII Ba₈Ga_{16 - x}Cu_xSn₃₀ (x=0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.15) clathrates were prepared using the Sn-flux method. At room temperature the carrier density, n, is 3.5-5×10¹⁹ cm^-3 for all the samples, the carrier mobility, μ_H, increases to more than twice that of Ba₈Ga₁₆Sn₃₀ for all the Cu doping samples, and consequently the electrical conductivity is enhanced distinctly from 1.90×10⁴ S/m to 4.40×10⁴ S/m, with the Cu composition increasing from x=0 to x=0.15. The Seebeck coefficient, α , decreases slightly with the increases in Cu composition. The κ values are about 0.72 W/mK at 300 K and are almost invariant with temperature up to 500 K for the samples with x=0 and x=0.03. The lattice thermal conductivity, κ_L, decreases from 0.59 W/mK for x=0 to 0.50 W/mK for x=0.03 at 300 K. The figure of merit for x=0.03 reaches 1.35 at 540 K.
