Abstract
In this paper, we compare mechanical and thermoelectric parameters of Bi2Te2.5Se0.5 alloy prepared via zone recrystallization and extrusion. We have studied the effect of heat treatment on the ultimate strength and thermoelectric figure of merit of an n-type solid solution prepared via extrusion. Its thermoelectric parameters—Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity—have been measured at room temperature and in the range 300–430 K, and its thermoelectric figure of merit ZT has been evaluated. The highest 350-K ZT value of the materials prepared via zone recrystallization is 1.0 ± 0.1, whereas the highest ZT value of the materials prepared via extrusion is 0.90 ± 0.1. Heat treatment in a vacuum thermostat at a temperature of 573 K for 24 h increased the highest ZT value of the materials prepared via extrusion to 0.96 ± 0.1 and their ultimate strength to 165 MPa.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials is a journal that publishes reviews and original articles devoted to chemistry, physics, and applications of various inorganic materials including high-purity substances and materials. The journal discusses phase equilibria, including P–T–X diagrams, and the fundamentals of inorganic materials science, which determines preparatory conditions for compounds of various compositions with specified deviations from stoichiometry. Inorganic Materials is a multidisciplinary journal covering all classes of inorganic materials. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
