Quantum Chemistry Study on Boron Carbides and Si-Doped Ones

The correlation among composition, structure, chemical bond and thermoelectric property of boron carbide and Si doped ones was studied using DV X α method, with 5 classes of 28 models. The representative structural unit of boron carbide is 〔C-B-B(C)〕 δ- 〔B 11 C〕 δ+ . The models with C-B-B chains and B 11 C icosahedra are the stablest, and the charges of their icosahedra are the lowest, so the bipolaron forms easily, which is consistent with the experimental result that the conductivity has the largest value when the carbon content is 13.3%. The representative structural unit of doping Si is 〔C-B-Si〕 ε+ 〔B 11 C〕 ε. As there are more types of structural units after the addtion Si, the energy required by the disproportionation reaction decreases, and there are more paths for the bipolaron to hopping. At the same time, the covalent bond becomes weaker, and the thermal conductivity decreases. Therefore, the thermoelectric property of Si doped boron carbides is improved.
