Thermoelectric Performance of Micro/Nano-Structured Bismuth-Antimony-Telluride Bulk from Low Cost Mechanical Alloying
In this work, micro/nano-structured Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 bulk thermoelectric materials were synthesized by mechanical alloying from elemental shots of Bi, Sb, and Te. Cold pressing and subsequent heat treatments with hydrogen reduction were used to form bulk solid samples with good thermoelectric properties in the temperature range around 75 ̊C to 100 ̊C. In comparison to crystal growth methods and chem...
متن کاملLanthanum Telluride: Mechanochemical Synthesis of a Refractory Thermoelectric Material
Recent experimental work on lanthanum telluride has confirmed its significant potential as an n-type material for high temperature thermoelectric (TE) power generation application. The phase of interest, La3.xTe4, has a Th3P4 defect structure where x is the lanthanum vacancy with values ranging between 0 and 1/3. Thermoelectric properties change rapidly with x since the carrier concentration, «...
متن کاملMechanochemical synthesis and high temperature thermoelectric properties of calcium-doped lanthanum telluride La3xCaxTe4
The thermoelectric properties from 300–1275 K of calcium-doped La3 xTe4 are reported. La3 xTe4 is a high temperature n-type thermoelectric material with a previously reported zTmax B 1.1 at 1273 K and x = 0.23. Computational modeling suggests the La atoms define the density of states of the conduction band for La3 xTe4. Doping with Ca 2+ on the La site is explored as a means of modifying the de...
متن کاملMicro- and Macromechanical Properties of Thermoelectric Lead Chalcogenides.
Both n- and p-type lead telluride (PbTe)-based thermoelectric (TE) materials display high TE efficiency, but the low fracture strength may limit their commercial applications. To find ways to improve these macroscopic mechanical properties, we report here the ideal strength and deformation mechanism of PbTe using density functional theory calculations. This provides structure-property relations...
