A hybridized graphene carrier highway for enhanced thermoelectric power generation.

چکیده
The decoupling and enhancement of both Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity were achieved by constructing the c-axis preferentially oriented nanoscale Sb(2)Te(3) film on monolayer graphene. The external graphene layer provided a highway for charge carriers, which were stored in the thicker binary telluride film, due to the extremely high mobility.

Atomic-scale mapping of thermoelectric power on graphene: role of defects and boundaries.
The spatially resolved thermoelectric power is studied on epitaxial graphene on SiC with direct correspondence to graphene atomic structures by a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) method. A thermovoltage arises from a temperature gradient between the STM tip and the sample, and variations of thermovoltage are distinguished at defects and boundaries with atomic resolution. The epitaxial graphe...
متن کاملThe physics of epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001).
Various physical properties of epitaxial graphene grown on SiC(0001) are studied. First, the electronic transport in epitaxial bilayer graphene on SiC(0001) and quasi-free-standing bilayer graphene on SiC(0001) is investigated. The dependences of the resistance and the polarity of the Hall resistance at zero gate voltage on the top-gate voltage show that the carrier types are electron and hole,...
متن کاملSignificantly reduced thermal conductivity and enhanced thermoelectric properties of single- and bi-layer graphene nanomeshes with sub-10nm neck-width
When graphene is shrunk into ~10 nm scale graphene nanoribbons or nanomesh structures, it is expected that not only electrical properties but also thermal conductivity and thermoelectric property are significantly altered due to the quantum confinement effect and extrinsic phonon-edge scattering. Here, we fabricate large-area, sub10 nm singleand bilayer graphene nanomeshes from block copolymer ...
متن کاملSynergistic Optimization of Thermoelectric Performance in P-Type Bi0.48Sb1.52Te3/Graphene Composite
We report the synergistic optimization of the thermoelectric properties in p-type Bi0.48Sb1.52Te3 by the additional graphene. Highly dense Bi0.48Sb1.52Te3 + graphene (x wt%, x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) composites have been synthesized by zone-melting followed by spark plasma sintering. With the help of scanning electron microscopy, the graphene has been clearly observed at the edge of the grain ...
متن کاملEnhanced Thermoelectric Properties of Graphene/Cu2SnSe3 Composites
Cu2SnSe3 material is regarded as a potential thermoelectric material due to its relatively high carrier mobility and low thermal conductivity. In this study, graphene was introduced into the Cu2SnSe3 powder by ball milling, and the bulk graphene/Cu2SnSe3 thermoelectric composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering. The graphene nanosheets distributed uniformly in the Cu2SnSe3 matrix. Meanw...
