Accurate Measurement of Thermal Displacement in Filled Skutterudite by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
The efficiency of thermoelectric materials is characterized by the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT = T/ρκ, where is the Seebeck coefficient, ρ the electrical resistivity, T the temperature, and к the total thermal conductivity. To achieve high ZT, one needs to maximize the power factor /ρ, whereas minimize thermal conductivity к. The unfilled skutterudites have a high power...
متن کاملHigh-performance n-type YbxCo4Sb12: from partially filled skutterudites towards composite thermoelectrics
The filling fraction limit (FFL) of skutterudites, that is, the complex balance of formation enthalpies among different species, is an intricate but crucial parameter for achieving high thermoelectric performance. In this work, we synthesized a series of YbxCo4Sb12 samples with x=0.2–0.6 and systemically studied the FFL of Yb, which is still debated even though this system has been extensively ...
متن کاملDynamics of coherent acoustic phonons in thin films of CoSb3 and partially filled YbxCo4Sb12 skutterudites
Skutterudites are considered as interesting material for thermoelectric applications. Filling foreign atoms into the cagelike structure of a CoSb3 skutterudite is beneficial to its thermoelectric properties by increasing phonon scattering while maintaining the electrical conductivity. In this paper we demonstrate the generation and detection of coherent acoustic phonons in thin films of CoSb3 a...

متن کاملEnhancement of thermoelectric efficiency of CoSb3-based skutterudites by double filling with K and Tl
The high-temperature thermoelectric properties of thallium (Tl) and potassium (K) double-filled cobalt antimonide (CoSb3)-based skutterudites with nominal compositions TlxK0.3Co4Sb12 (x = 0.1 - 0.3) were investigated. The filling fraction of Tl in CoSb3 was enhanced by co-filling with K, which resulted in all of the samples showing the filled-skutterudite single phase. Owing to the high filling...
