A kind of filling in thermoelectric material of cobalt stibide based skutterudite by alkali-metal atom and preparation method thereof
Technical field
A kind of alkali metal atom with high filler loading capacity, good thermoelectricity capability is filled cobalt stibide based skutterudite material and preparation method thereof, belongs to the thermoelectric material field.
Technical background
The thermoelectric power generation technology is to utilize the Seebeck effect of semiconductor material directly heat energy to be converted into the technology of electric energy, it has no drive disk assembly, reliability height, long, advantages of environment protection of life-span, plays an important role at numerous areas such as waste-heat power generation, space science, military equipment, household electrical appliance.Its efficiency of conversion depends primarily on the zero dimension thermoelectricity capability performance index ZT (ZT=S of material itself 2σ T/ κ, wherein S is the Seebeck coefficient; σ is a specific conductivity; κ is a thermal conductivity, and T is an absolute temperature).The ZT value of material is high more, and its thermopower generation efficiency is also high more.At present, several sophisticated thermoelectric material systems are as CoSb 3, Bi 2Te 3, GeSi, PbTe etc., the ZT value of its block materials is generally all about 1.0.
Skutterudite compound belongs to body-centered cubic structure, the characteristics of its crystalline structure maximum are that the position, body-centered exists the hollow cage that volume is very big, other atoms metals (as rare earth and alkaline-earth metal) can be filled in the mode that weak bond closes in this cage and produce perturbation action greatly the scattering phonon, reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of material significantly, wherein cage is filled the occupied ratio of atom is become loading level.Simultaneously, provide current carrier to optimize the material electric property in crystalline structure thereby fill atom, the thermoelectricity capability of the skutterudite compound material after the filling increases substantially and makes it to become one of best thermoelectric power generation material of performance, and its ZT value surpasses 1.0.But, rare earth and alkaline-earth metal are as filling the atomic time, because these high valence states of filling atom make optimized electricity and thermal property be difficult to obtain simultaneously and its loading level is also very low (wherein the highest with barium, be 0.44, and loading level is about 0.25 o'clock best performance), the adjustable packing space that obtains good thermoelectricity capability is less.For more active alkali metal atom, because their strong inflammableness, low melting point, high-vapor-pressure and severe corrosive, the skutterudite compound that the alkali metal atom of preparation high purity, high filler loading capacity and good thermoelectricity capability is filled is very difficult.But, because the lower valency of alkali metal atom, it fills the cobalt stibide based skutterudite compound can still can keep higher loading level when obtaining optimized electrical transmission performance, directly cause the further reduction of lattice thermal conductivity, thereby improves the thermoelectricity capability of material.Though alkali metal atom filled skutterudite compound is a kind of very promising high performance thermoelectric material, relevant filling in thermoelectric material of cobalt stibide based skutterudite by alkali-metal atom and preparation method thereof yet there are no report in the past.
