晶粒细化是提高Bi₂Te₃基热电材料力学性能的重要方法,但晶粒细化过程中伴随的类施主效应严重劣化了材料的热电性能,并且一旦产生类施主效应,就很难通过简单的热处理等工艺消除.本文系统研究n型Bi₂Te₃基化合物烧结前粉体颗粒尺寸对材料类施主效应和热电性能的影响规律.随着颗粒尺寸减小,氧诱导的类施主效应明显增强,载流子浓度从10 M烧结样品的3.36×10¹⁹ cm^-3急剧增加到120 M烧结样品的7.33×10¹⁹ cm^-3,严重偏离最佳载流子浓度2.51×10¹⁹ cm^-3,热电性能严重劣化.当粉体颗粒尺寸为1—2 mm时,烧结样品的Seebeck系数为–195 μV/K,载流子浓度为3.36×10¹⁹ cm^-3,与区熔样品沿着ab面方向的Seebeck系数为–203 μV/K和载流子浓度为2.51×10¹⁹

Effect of pressure on electronic and thermoelectric properties of magnesium silicide: A density functional theory study

We study the effect of pressure on electronic and thermoelectric properties of Mg_2Si using the density functional theory and Boltzmann transport equations. The variation of lattice constant, band gap, bulk modulus with pressure is also analyzed. Further, the thermoelectric properties(Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, electronic thermal conductivity) have been studied as a function of temperature and pressure up to 1200 K. The results show that Mg_2Si is an n-type semiconductor with a band gap of 0.21 eV. The negative value of the Seebeck coefficient at all pressures indicates that the conduction is due to electrons. With the increase in pressure, the Seebeck coefficient decreases and electrical conductivity increases. It is also seen that, there is practically no effect of pressure on the electronic contribution of thermal conductivity.The paper describes the calculation of the lattice thermal conductivity and figure of merit of Mg_2Si at zero pressure. The maximum value of figure of merit is attained 1.83 × 10~(-3) at 1000 K. The obtained results are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical results.     

First principle investigation of the electronic and thermoelectric properties of Mg_2C

In this paper, electronic and thermoelectric properties of Mg_2C are investigated by using first principle pseudo potential method based on density functional theory and Boltzmann transport equations. We calculate the lattice parameters,bulk modulus, band gap and thermoelectric properties(Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity) of this material at different temperatures and compare them with available experimental and other theoretical data. The calculations show that Mg_2C is indirect band semiconductor with a band gap of 0.75 eV. The negative value of Seebeck coefficient shows that the conduction is due to electrons. The electrical conductivity decreases with temperature and Power factor(PF) increases with temperature. The thermoelectric properties of Mg_2C have been calculated in a temperature range of 100 K–1200 K.

Band engineering and precipitation enhance thermoelectric performance of SnTe with Zn-doping

We have systematically studied the thermoelectric properties in Zn-doped Sn Te.Strikingly,band convergence and embedded precipitates arising from Zn doping,can trigger a prominent improvement of thermoelectric performance.In particular,the value of dimensionless figure of merit z T has increased by 100% and up to ~ 0.5 at 775 K for the optimal sample with 2% Zn content.Present findings demonstrate that carrier concentration and effective mass play crucial roles on the Seebeck coefficient and power factor.The obvious deviation from the Pisarenko line(Seebeck coefficient versus carrier concentration) due to Zn-doping reveals the convergence of valence bands.When the doping concentration exceeds the solubility,precipitates occur and lead to a reduction of lattice thermal conductivity.In addition,bipolar conduction is suppressed,indicating an enlargement of band gap.The Zn-doped Sn Te is shown to be a promising candidate for thermoelectric applications.     

Graphene for Thermoelectric Applications: Prospects and Challenges

Thermoelectric power generators require high-efficiency thermoelectric materials to transform waste heat into usable electrical energy. An efficient thermoelectric material should have high Seebeck coefficient and excellent electrical conductivity as well as low thermal conductivity. Graphene, the first truly 2D nanomaterial, exhibits unique properties which suit it for use in thermoelectric power generators, but its application in thermoelectrics is limited by the high thermal conductivity and low Seebeck coefficient resulting from its gapless spectrum. However, with the possibility of modification of graphene's band structure to enhance Seebeck coefficient and the reduction of its thermal conductivity, it is an exciting prospect for application in thermoelectric power generation. This article examines the electronic, optical, thermal, and thermoelectric properties of graphene systems. The factors that contribute to these material properties in graphene systems like charge carriers scattering mechanisms are discussed. A salient aspect of this article is a synergistic perspective on the reduction of thermal conductivity and improvement of Seebeck coefficient of graphene for a higher thermoelectric energy conversion efficiency. In this regard, the effect of graphene nanostructuring and doping, forming of structural defects, as well as graphene integration into a polymer matrix on its thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient is elucidated.     

Thermoelectric properties of Li-doped Sr_(0.7)Ba_(0.3)Nb_2O_(6-δ) ceramics

Thermoelectric properties of Li-dopedSr_(0.7)Ba_(0.3)Nb_2O_(6-δ)ceramics were investigated in the temperature range from 323 K to 1073 K. The electrical conductivity increases significantly after lithium interstitial doping. However, both of the magnitudes of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity vary non-monotonically but synchronously with the doping contents, indicating that doped lithium ions may not be fully ionized and oxygen vacancy may also contribute to carriers. The lattice thermal conductivity increases firstly and then decreases as the doping content increases, which is affected by competing factors.Thermoelectric performance is enhanced by lithium interstitial doping due to the increase of the power factor and the thermoelectric figure of merit reaches maximum value(0.21 at 1073 K) in the sample Sr_(0.70)Ba_(0.30)Li_(0.10)Nb_2O_6.     

GeI2 monolayer: a model thermoelectric material from 300 to 600 K

ABSTRACT

In this work, the electronic structure, optical properties and thermoelectric properties of the GeI₂ monolayer are calculated by the first principles with the Boltzmann transport equation. The monolayer is calculated as an indirect band gap semiconductor with an indirect band gap of a value 2.19?eV. This GeI₂ monolayer is good for absorbing low-energy photons, and it is insensitive to high-energy photons. The material is stable at temperatures up to 600?K, so we calculated the thermal conductivity (K_L), Seebeck coefficient (S), power factor (PF) and thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of the GeI₂ monolayer at various carrier concentrations from 300 to 600?K. Due to the lower group velocity, the GeI₂ monolayer has a lower thermal conductivity of 0.48?W/m?K at 300K. In P-type doping, the power factor can up to 0.11?mW/m?K², and its ZT value is 4.04 at 600?K of the GeI₂ monolayer, indicating that the GeI₂ monolayer is a potential thermoelectric material.     

Optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of Zintl YLi3X2(X=Sb,Bi) compounds through modified Becke—Johnson potential

In the present work, we investigate the structural, optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of the YLi₃X₂(X=Sb, Bi) compounds using the full potential augmented plane wave plus local orbital (FP-APW+lo) method. The exchange-correlation potential is treated with the generalized gradient approximation/local density approximation (GGA/LDA) and with the modified Becke-Johnson potential (TB-mBJ) in order to improve the electronic band structure calculations. In addition, the estimated ground state properties such as the lattice constants, external parameters, and bulk moduli agree well with the available experimental data. Our band structure calculations with GGA and LDA predict that both compounds have semimetallic behaviors. However, the band structure calculations with the GGA/TB-mBJ approximation indicate that the ground state of the YLi₃Sb₂ compound is semiconducting and has an estimated indirect band gap (Γ-L) of about 0.036 eV while the ground state of YLi₃Bi₂ compound is semimetallic. Conversely the LDA/TB-mBJ calculations indicate that both compounds exhibit semiconducting characters and have an indirect band gap (Γ-L) of about 0.15 eV and 0.081 eV for YLi₃Sb and YLi₃Bi₂ respectively. Additionally, the optical properties reveal strong responses of the herein materials in the energy range between the IR and extreme UV regions. Thermoelectric properties such as thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermo power factors are also calculated.
