The application of Bi2Te3-based power generation is seriously hindered by the poor n-type samples, demonstrating a strong demand for high-performance n-type Bi2Te3-based thermoelectric (TE) materials. However, the strong relationship between thermal and electrical transport limits the improvement of the TE properties. Here, we propose a strategy to enhance the Seebeck coefficient while retaining a large electrical conductivity in n-type (Bi,Sb)2(Te,Se)3 materials through introducing electron transport potential wells and texturing. The thermal conductivity was also successfully decreased by constructing multi-scale phonon scattering structures. Consequently, a record maximum and average thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of ∼1.4 and ∼1.3 were achieved in the Bi1.8Sb0.2Te2.7Se0.3 + 15 wt% Te sample at a temperature of 300–575 K. A TE power generation module was fabricated with this n-type material and a home-made p-type Bi2Te3 sample. It demonstrated a record conversion efficiency of 6.6% at a temperature gradient of 235 K, representing about an 88% improvement compared with a commercial zone-melt Bi2Te3-based module.

在n型Bi2Te3基热电材料中实现创纪录的高性能

劣质的n型样品严重阻碍了Bi 2 Te 3基发电的应用,这表明对高性能n型Bi 2 Te 3基热电(TE)材料的强烈需求。但是,热和电传输之间的紧密关系限制了TE性能的提高。在这里,我们提出了一种在保留n型(Bi,Sb)2(Te,Se)3大导电率的同时提高塞贝克系数的策略。通过引入电子传输势阱和纹理化材料。通过构建多尺度声子散射结构也成功降低了热导率。因此,在300–575 K的温度下,Bi 1.8 Sb 0.2 Te 2.7 Se 0.3 + 15 wt%Te样品获得了创纪录的最大热电平均品质因数(ZT)〜1.4和〜1.3。A TE电源使用这种n型材料和自制的p型Bi 2 Te 3样品制造了发电模块。在235 K的温度梯度下,它的转换效率达到了创纪录的6.6%,与商用的区域熔融Bi相比,提高了约88%。2基于Te 3的模块。
