N-Type Bismuth Telluride-Based Thermoelectric Material with Modulation
Structure and Preparation Method Thereof
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to the technical field of thermoelectric materials, in
ptechnologyicular to an n-type bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material with a
modulation structure and a preparation method thereof.
BACKGROUND
As a new energy material, thermoelectric materials can directly realize the direct
conversion between thermal energy and electrical energy. The corresponding
thermoelectric devices have simple structure, no transmission parts, no noise and
emission, and are widely used in the fields of computer/communication base station chip
refrigeration, air conditioning, refrigerator, aerospace/polar exploration equipment power
supply, etc., which is a hot spot in the current material research field. The most important
criterion for evaluating thermoelectric materials is dimensionless thermoelectric figure of
merit (ZT), ZT = (S'o/) T, where S is Seebeck coefficient, a is electrical conductivity, K
is thermal conductivity, and T is absolute temperature. The dimensionless thermoelectric
figure of merit is higher, the corresponding thermoelectric conversion efficiency is
higher. Materials with high thermoelectric performance should have high electromotive
force, high conductivity and low thermal conductivity. The electrical conductivity is
determined by carrier concentration and mobility, a = enp, where e is electron charge, n is
carrier concentration and p is carrier mobility.
At present, there are about 200 thermoelectric material systems, among which
bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric materials are the most widely used. However, at present, domestic bismuth telluride thermoelectric materials, especially n-type bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric materials, have a single structure, which has the problem that carrier concentration and mobility cannot be promoted synergistically, which limits the improvement of thermoelectric performance. Therefore, the present invention proposes an n-type bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material with modulation structure and its preparation method to solve the problems in the prior art.
SUMMARY
In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to propose an
n-type bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material with modulation structure and a

partical size is 500 m; The purity of Bi2Te3-xSex powder is >99.99 wt%, and its partical
size is 500 m, where 0.1<x0.9.
The preparation method of an n-type bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material

wherein 0.1<x<0.9, and then uniformly mixing to obtain mixed powder;
Step 2, putting the mixed powder into a ball milling tank, and ball milling for 1-12

Step 3, loading the n-type Bi2Te3 and Bi2Te3-xSex mixed powder with equal molar
ratio into a mold, wherein 0.1<xS0.9, placing in a plasma activation sinter furnace, then
simultaneously raising temperature and pressure at a constant speed, simultaneously
raising the temperature to 400-550°C and the pressure to 30~100 MPa, keeping the
temperature and pressure for 3-20 minutes, and simultaneously reducing the temperature
at a constant speed;
Step 4, taking out the sintered mold and demoulding to obtain the n-type bismuth
telluride-based thermoelectric material with the modulation structure.
About the further improvement, first of all, n-type Bi2Te3 and Bi2Te3-xSex powder
prepared in Step 1 are weigh and mixed in an equal molar ratio, wherein 0.1<x0.9.
Secondly the ball milling tank equipment in the Step 2 is a high-energy planetary ball
mill, the mass ratio of ball to material is (10-30):1, and the rotating speed of the high
energy planetary ball mill is 100~600 r/min. At last, in Step 3, the rate of uniform heating

phases, which can effectively reduce the thermal conductivity ofthe thermoelectric
material;
3. The n-type bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material prepared by the

advantages of these two samples, one with high carrier concentration and low mobility
and the other sample with low carrier concentration and high mobility, which enables the
sample to have relatively high carrier concentration. At the same time, carriers tend to
