Abstract

SiGe based alloy is a promising medium-high temperature thermoelectric material that has been applied in the field of aerospace exploration. So far, utilizing the second phase to promote the scattering of phonons is a common way to improve the thermoelectric performance of SiGe based alloy, but this often deteriorates the electrical properties. In this study, the Si80Ge20P1/CoSi2 composites have been prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering, and the content of cobalt silicide (CoSi2) nanoparticles have been manipulated. Since the CoSi2 nanoparticles possess higher carrier concentration and smaller work function than the Si80Ge20P1 matrix, the carrier concentrations of composites have been pushed up due the charge transfer effect. Meanwhile, the formation of nano-sized phase interfaces and stacking faults in the composites has enhanced the scattering of low-frequency phonons. As a result, the optimal power factor of 3.41 mW⋅m−1⋅K−2 and thermal conductivity of 2.29 W⋅m−1⋅K−1 have been achieved, and the corresponding zT reaches up to 1.3 in the Si80Ge20P1+0.5% CoSi2 (in mole) composite at 873 K. This work provides a new idea for developing the performance of SiGe based alloy.

通过 Si80Ge20P1/CoSi2 复合材料中的电荷转移效应和声子散射增强效应同时优化功率因数和热导率
硅锗基合金是一种前景广阔的中高温热电材料,已被应用于航空航天探索领域。迄今为止,利用第二相促进声子散射是提高 SiGe 基合金热电性能的常用方法,但这往往会降低其电性能。本研究采用机械合金化和火花等离子烧结法制备了 Si80Ge20P1/CoSi2 复合材料,并控制了硅化钴(CoSi2)纳米粒子的含量。由于 CoSi2 纳米粒子比 Si80Ge20P1 基体具有更高的载流子浓度和更小的功函数,复合材料的载流子浓度在电荷转移效应的作用下被推高。同时,复合材料中纳米级相界面和堆叠断层的形成增强了低频声子的散射。因此,Si80Ge20P1+0.5% CoSi2(摩尔)复合材料在 873 K 时的最佳功率因数为 3.41 mW-m-1-K-2,热导率为 2.29 W-m-1-K-1,相应的 zT 达到 1.3。
