摘要
α-MgAgSb是一种很有前途的近室温热电(TE)材料,但由于空位和晶界的散射而导致载流子迁移率不足。合成具有大晶粒的化学计量α-MgAgSb一直是一项挑战。在这里,由于改进了球磨工艺,α-MgAgSb 粉末前驱体的相纯度在机械化学合成过程中得到了有效提高。经过随后的火花等离子烧结(SPS)和 583 K 的后退火处理,获得了接近全等的α-MgAgSb,呈现出马赛克结构,在 300-573 K 条件下,μ 值显著提高到 93.3 cm2V-1s-1,zTavg 达到 1.4。基于α-MgAgSb/Mg3BiSb 的 7 对 TE 模块被制造出来,在 Th ≤ 583 K 时效率达到创纪录的 12%,在 300 K 时的冷却 ΔTmax 为 61 K。
High-performance MgAgSb/Mg3(Sb,Bi)2-based thermoelectrics with η = 12% at T ≤ 583K
α-MgAgSb, as a promising near-room-temperature thermoelectric (TE) material, has suffered from incompetent carrier mobility induced by the scattering of vacancies and grain boundaries. Synthesis of stoichiometric α-MgAgSb with large crystal grains has been challenging. Here, owing to an improved ball-milling process, the phase purity of α-MgAgSb powder precursor was effectively increased during mechanochemical synthesis. After subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) and post annealing at 583 K, near-stoichiometric α-MgAgSb exhibiting a mosaic structure was obtained, registering a significantly enhanced μ of 93.3 cm2V−1s−1 and zTavg of 1.4 in 300–573 K. A 7-pair TE module based on α-MgAgSb/Mg3BiSb was fabricated, which demonstrated a record-high efficiency of 12% at Th ≤ 583 K and a cooling ΔTmax of 61 K at 300 K. This work lays the foundation for broad applications of Mg-based TEs.
