Effect of Sb doping on the thermoelectric properties of Ti-based half-Heusler compounds, TiNiSn1ÀxSbx
Half-Heusler alloys ~MgAgAs type! with the general formula MNiSn where M is a group IV transition metal ~Hf, Zr, or Ti! are currently under investigation for potential thermoelectric materials. These materials exhibit a high negative thermopower (240 to 2250 mV/K) and low electrical resistivity values ~0.1–8 mV cm! both of which are necessary for a potential thermoelectric material. Results are...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Nanostructured Thermoelectric Half-Heusler Compounds
Half-Heusler (HH) alloys have attracted considerable interest as promising thermoelectric (TE) materials in the temperature range around 700 K and above, which is close to the temperature range of most industrial waste heat sources. The past few years have seen nanostructuing play an important role in significantly enhancing the TE performance of several HH alloys. In this article, we briefly r...
متن کاملEffect of C and N Addition on Thermoelectric Properties of TiNiSn Half-Heusler Compounds
We investigated the thermoelectric properties of the ternary half-Heusler compound, TiNiSn, when introducing C and N. The addition of C or N to TiNiSn leads to an enhanced power factor and a decreasing lattice thermal conductivity by point defect phonon scattering. The thermoelectric performances of TiNiSn alloys are significantly improved by adding 1 at. % TiN, TiC, and figure of merit (ZT) va...
متن کاملSynthesis and Thermoelectric Properties of Ni-Doped ZrCoSb Half-Heusler Compounds
The Ni-doped ZrCo1−xNixSb half-Heusler compounds were prepared by arc-melting and spark plasma sintering technology. X-ray diffraction analysis results showed that all samples were crystallized in a half-Heusler phase. Thermoelectric properties of ZrCo1−xNixSb compounds were measured from room temperature to 850 K. The electrical conductivity and the absolute value of Seebeck coefficient increa...
متن کاملThe half Heusler system Ti1+xFe1.33-xSb-TiCoSb with Sb/Sn substitution: phase relations, crystal structures and thermoelectric properties.
Investigations of phase relations in the ternary system Ti-Fe-Sb show that the single-phase region of the Heusler phase is significantly shifted from stoichiometric TiFeSb (reported previously in the literature) to the Fe-rich composition TiFe1.33Sb. This compound also exhibits Fe/Ti substitution according to Ti1+xFe1.33-xSb (-0.17 ≤ x ≤ 0.25 at 800 °C). Its stability, crystal symmetry and site...
