A high conduction band degeneracy (Nv = 6) leads to an extraordinary figure of merit (zT) in n-type Mg3Sb2 thermoelectrics, while the p-type ones show a much inferior zT due to its lower Nv of only 1 owing to the large energy offset (ΔE ∼ 0.4 eV) between the two valence bands. The derivatives of Mg3Sb2, ternary AB2C2 (A = Eu, Yb, Ca, Sr, Ba; B = Mg, Zn, Cd; C = Sb, Bi) Zintls, show a similar valence band structure but with a much smaller ΔE of <0.2 eV, leading to potential convergence of both valence bands for a high overall Nv of 3. This band feature promotes AB2C2 ternaries to be potential p-type thermoelectrics matching with n-type Mg3Sb2 for efficient thermoelectric applications, thus motivating the current work focusing on p-type EuMg2Sb2 thermoelectrics. Interestingly, Na-doping at the Eu site is found to be particularly effective for creating dense in-grain dislocations, which results in a remarkable reduction in lattice thermal conductivity to ∼0.5 W m−1 K−1. Moreover, Na-doping increases the hole concentration up to 6.0 × 1019 cm−3, leading to an effective involvement of multiple transporting valence bands. The synergistic effects of dense dislocations and multi-band transport, both enabled by Na-doping, led EuMg2Sb2 to show the highest zT among known doped p-type ternary AMg2C2 Zintl thermoelectrics.

钠掺杂可实现EuMg2Sb2中的位错和空穴,从而增强热电性能

高导带简并性(N v = 6)导致n型Mg 3 Sb 2热电材料具有非凡的品质因数(zT),而p型由于其较低的N v而显示出差得多的zT。 1由于较大的能量偏移量(Δ Ë两个价带之间〜0.4电子伏特)。Mg 3 Sb 2,三元AB 2 C 2(A = Eu,Yb,Ca,Sr,Ba; B = Mg,Zn,Cd; C = Sb,Bi)Zintls的衍生物显示相似的价带结构,但具有ΔE小得多小于0.2 eV,导致两个价带的潜在会聚,从而使N v达到较高的3。此能带特征促使AB 2 C 2三元成为与n型Mg 3 Sb 2匹配的潜在p型热电,从而实现高效热电应用,从而激发了当前致力于p型EuMg 2 Sb 2热电学的工作。有趣的是,发现Eu位置的Na掺杂对于产生致密的晶粒内位错特别有效,这导致晶格热导率显着降低至〜0.5 W m -1 K -1。此外,Na掺杂使空穴浓度增加到6.0×10 19 cm -3,导致有效地涉及多个传输价带。Na掺杂使致密位错和多带传输的协同效应使EuMg 2 Sb 2在已知的掺杂p型三元AMg 2 C 2 Zintl热电器件中显示出最高的zT
