Synergistically optimizing electrical and thermal transport properties of ntype PbSe

In this paper,we report that the thermoelectric performance of n-type Pb Se could be improved through synergistically optimizing electrical and thermal transport properties via Sb doping and Mg alloying.The carrier concentration was firstly optimized through Sb doping,resulting in a maximum power factor of~15.4μW cm~(-1)K~(-2)and maximum ZT of~0.9 at 873 K in Pb_(0.99)Sb_(0.01)Se.Then,Mg was selected for alloying in Pb sites to produce point defects,which can largely intensify the phonon scattering and lower thermal conductivity.After Mg alloying,the thermal conductivity at 300 K(873 K)was significantly suppressed from~4.6 Wm~(-1)K~(-1)(1.5 Wm~(-1)K~(-1))for Pb_(0.99)Sb_(0.01)Se to~2.9 Wm~(-1)K~(-1)(1.1 Wm~(-1)K~(-1))for Pb_(0.99)Sb_(0.01)Se-6%Mg Se.Through combining Sb doping and Mg alloying,a maximum ZT of~1.1 was achieved at 873 K for Pb_(0.99)Sb_(0.01)Se-6%Mg Se,and the average ZT(ZT_(ave))was increased by 28.6%from~0.42 for Pb_(0.99)Sb_(0.01)Se to~0.54 for Pb_(0.99)Sb_(0.01)Se-6%Mg Se.The results indicate that Pb Se is a robust candidate for medium-temperature thermoelectric applications.     

Influence of modulation period for β-Cu2+xSe/SiC nano-multilayer films on their thermoelectric properties

In this study, β-Cu_2+xSe/SiC nano-multilayer films with different modulation period were successfully deposited on SiO₂/Si substrates by sputtering alternately using Cu–Se and SiC targets. The deposited films were observed on both surface and cross-section, and the thermoelectric properties were studied. The results show that both carrier concentration and mobility at room temperature decreased with the reducing modulation period for the nano-multilayer films. The conductivity slightly decreased and Seebeck coefficient greatly increased with the reducing modulation period. As a result of competition, the power factor of the nano multilayer films increased with the reducing modulation period because the positive effect of the Seebeck coefficient exceeded the negative effect of the conductivity. In the case of β-Cu_2+xSe/SiC nano multilayer film with the smallest modulation periods (210 ?nm), the power factor reached 0.39 ?mWm^?1K^?2 and 0.59 ?mWm^?1K^?2 at room temperature and 325 ?°C, respectively. The enhanced power factor for nano multilayer films is attributed to the scattering process at the β-Cu_2+xSe/SiC layer interface, which reduces the carrier concentration and the mobility. It is concluded that the thermoelectric properties of β-Cu_2+xSe films can be effectively improved by designing nano multilayer structure.

为了研究基于塞贝克效应的热电能量采集器的温差发电性能,实现微电子器件的自供电,本文通过实验模拟工业场合热壁的方法研究了某一型号热电模块串联、并联和单模块的输出电压等特性。实验结果表明：三种连接方式下热电模块的开路电压均随冷热端温差增大而增大,开路电压与模块冷热端温差成正比关系。三种连接方式下单个模块、双模块并联、双模块串联分别在负载为8 Ω、4 Ω、17 Ω左右时,负载上可获得最大功率。可见针对不同负载选择适宜的热电模块组合方式可以使得能量采集器具有更高的能量利用率。
