제목 | Optimizing electrical and thermal transport properties of n-type Bi2Te3-based materials for room-temperature theremoelectric application |
초록 | Bi2Te3 has been the most efficient system for near-room temperature thermoelectric (TE) applications. Because TE modules consist of numerous pairs of p- and n-type TE legs, it is important to improve both types of materials with high TE performance. Compared to the reported TE performances of p-type Bi2Te3-based materials, the progress of n-type counterparts has been retarded because of limited dopants and substituents for suppessing their thermal transport with minimizing the deterioration of electrical transport properties. Here, we report high performance n-type Bi2Te3–based system via introducing K2Sex (x = 1 – 6). We demonstrate that the incorporation of K2Sex effectively induces multi-scale microstructures in Bi2Te3 matrix, resulting in the increased phonon scattering. As a result, the best performing member of these systems shows the significantly reduced lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) down to ~ 0.57 W·m-1·K-1 and remarkably high peak TE figure of merit (ZT) of ~ 1.12 at 397 K and average ZT over unity in the wide range of temperature from 300 K to 500 K. |
