A kind of thermoelectric material and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of thermoelectric material and preparation method thereof, belong to field of inorganic materials.
Background technology
Thermoelectric material is a kind of functional material that can realize by the transportation of charge carrier in the solid the direct conversion of heat energy and electric energy, is considered in the future very competitive energy substitution medium.Thermoelectric generation technology is a kind of new forms of energy switch technology of utilizing the Seebeck effect of thermoelectric material and Peltier effect that heat energy and electric energy are transformed mutually.This technology have cleaning, quiet, use convenient management, wide and the high advantage of security reliability conform.The development and utilization of thermoelectric generation technology is solving following energy crisis, is providing the aspects such as clean energy resource and raising efficiency of energy utilization will play more and more important effect.
The performance of thermoelectric material depends on the hot figure of merit ZT of material, and ZT is typically expressed as ZT=S 2σ T/ κ, S is called Seebeck coefficient or thermoelectric force in the formula, and σ is the conductance of material, and κ is thermal conductivity.σ, S and κ parameter depend on the scattering of electronic structure and charge carrier, κ=κ L+ κ e, reduce the κ key and be to reduce κ LThereby, namely strengthen the lattice dot matrix to the scattering reduction thermal conductivity of phonon.In more than ten years, to the research and development of thermoelectric material, mainly concentrate on two aspects in the past, one, be that tradition is had good thermoelectricity capability bulk such as PbTe, Bi 2Te 3Carry out performance optimization (as mix, superlattice or make nano material), improve its power factor (S 2Thereby σ) or reduce its thermal conductance and improve its hot figure of merit ZT; Two, development and development of new have potential good thermoelectricity capability material, more than ten years in the past, find that in succession some have potential good thermoelectricity capability material, and such as skutterudite, Runge-Kutta integration.Yet although in the past during the last ten years, thermoelectric material reaches experiment in theory very large progress, and thermoelectric material ZT value in the range of 0.4-1.3, does not far reach practical always; Reach and realize thermo-electric generation and the practical target of energising refrigeration, the ZT value reaches more than 3.Meanwhile, more than ten years in the past, because the reaction flux method is in the synthetic application of high temperature solid-state, the successful alkali metal (alkaline-earth metal) of more synthetic novel structures/rare earth/copper/tellurium compound is such as layer structure A 1-xRECu 1+xTe 4, Rb 2CeCu 3Te 5, KEuCu 2Te 4And BaRECuTe 3, tunnel structure A 3RE 4Cu 5Te 10, CsRE 2CuTe 4And CsSc 3Cu 2Te 6But the thermoelectricity capability of these compound reports of at present these discoveries is all poor.At the application's patent, Cs xRE 2Cu 6-xTe 6Compound preliminary experimental result in twin tunnel shows that this series compound has good thermoelectricity capability, is that thermoelectricity capability is best in this compounds of finding at present, and this performance is also compared with more present famous thermoelectric materials simultaneously.
