Technical field
The invention belongs to thermoelectricity components and parts technical field, it is related to a kind of skutterudite-base thermoelectrical component equipment and its preparation side Method, more particularly, it relates to a kind of alloy electrode of skutterudite-base thermoelectrical element and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Thermoelectric power generation is by heat energy using semiconductor thermoelectric transition material(The temperature difference)It is converted into the entirely static of electric energy directly to send out Electrically, it is the green energy resource technology meeting environmental protection, dirty for the currently growing Pressure on Energy of alleviation and solution and environment Dye is significant.Thermoelectric heat generation system have compact conformation, dependable performance, run when noiseless, no abrasion, No leakage, The features such as mobility is got well and is applied to low energy densities and recycles, is particularly suitable for industrial exhaust heat and waste heat of automotive exhaust gas etc. Recycle.Currently, with respect to the suitable maturation of the bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric refrigeration device of cryogenic refrigeration and be widely used The components and parts of the preparations such as thermoelectric material such as PbTe and SiGe generating electricity in commodity production, high temperature are at present in the prosperity such as America and Europe state Family also begins to be applied to space field, and substantial amounts of research has been done to the oxide pyroelectric material generating electricity and device by Japan.Square cobalt The thermoelectricity capability of ore deposit base thermoelectricity material Yin Qigao and its factor such as other cost and controllable standby technology are considered as to have most The middle temperature electricity generation material of future, the p-type of doping or filling, its thermoelectric figure of merit of skutterudite-base thermoelectrical material of N-shaped(ZT)All Reach more than 1.0(Shi Xun;Yang Jiong;Salvador James R et al., Multiple-Filled Skutterudites:High Thermoelectric Figure of Merit through Separately Optimizing Electrical and Thermal Transports(The skutterudite of many fillings:By separately optimizing electricity and The hyperpyrexia quality factor of Heat transmission),JACS,2011(133)7837-7846;Chen Lidong, Liu Ruiheng, Chou Pengfei, a kind of " hyperpyrexia The p-type of electrical property is combined skutterudite material and preparation method thereof ", CN201010259433.0)But, the preparation skill of its components and parts Art is still far from perfect, and particularly the connectivity problem of electrode, intermediate layer and skutterudite-base thermoelectrical material is it is important to will adopt suitably Technology of preparing is reducing the generation of the mismatch of thermal coefficient of expansion and serious diffusion reaction each other.
In general, the electrode of thermoelectricity components and parts selects mainly to follow following principle:Using electrode in temperature range The phase counterdiffusion no serious with corresponding thermoelectric material and its intermediate layer or reaction, thus ensure thermoelectric material self performance not Impacted;There are higher electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity to reduce energy loss;Using having certain antioxidation in temperature range Property is to ensure reliability and the service life of device;The thermal coefficient of expansion of electrode material and corresponding thermoelectric material mate to prevent Crack thus affecting thermoelectric transport properties and heat stability.
Low temperature thermoelectric unit part, due to not high using temperature, typically can select Cu and Al etc. as electrode, such as patent documentation Bi in JP100129352Te3Thermoelement selects Al as electrode material.But for high temperature thermoelectricity components and parts, due to temperature Degree range spans are larger, and the long-term work of thermo-electric device hot junction is under the high temperature conditions, and thermoelectric material is with electrode material because heat is swollen The difference of swollen coefficient and easily crack in interface, the therefore selection of centering high temperature thermoelectric components and parts electrode and Joining Technology There is higher requirement.In patent documentation JP11274580 and JP2000100751, PbTe and SiGe thermo-electric device is all adopted With Cu electrode.Research for skutterudite-base thermoelectrical device is still in laboratory stage at present, and some researcheres are to skutterudite The electrode of base thermo-electric device also uses Ni metal as electrode, such as patent documentation JP2004063585.And in fact Cu with CoSb3Thermal expansion coefficient difference excessive(During 373K, Ni metal and skutterudite material thermal expansion coefficient are respectively 18 × 10-6K-1With 10×10-6K-1), when using under hot conditionss, easily cause electrode material and thermoelectric material Interface Cracking.U.S.'s jet power Test chamber(Jet propulsion Laboratory)Once in the 20th International Conference on Thermoelectrics(Thermoelectricity world conference)Metal Ti was employed as electrode when reporting single pair of antimony cobalt base thermoelectric power generation (D.J.Yao, C.J.Kim, G.Chen, J.L.Liu, K.L.Wang, J.Snyder and J.P.Fleurial, " MEMS thermoelectric microcooler(MEMS thermoelectricity micro-cooler)"Proceedings(Procceedingss) ICT2001.20International Conference on Thermoelectrics(Cat.No.01TH8589), pp.401-404,2001).But the shortcoming as electrode for the metal Ti is electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity is relatively low, and energy consumption is larger, and And non-oxidizability is poor, therefore it is also not suitable for the electrode material as skutterudite-base thermoelectrical power generating device.Chinese Academy of Sciences's Shanghai silicon Hydrochlorate institute has done substantial amounts of work on the preparation research of skutterudite-base thermoelectrical device, particular for the selection of electrode material And skutterudite-base thermoelectrical material has done substantial amounts of research with the connection reliability of electrode material.In patent documentation CN1585145 In, Fan etc. adopts metal Mo as electrode material, using metal Ti as boundary layer, is sintered with discharge plasma(SPS)Side Method achieves the connection of electrode, intermediate layer and thermoelectric material, but the thermal coefficient of expansion due to Mo is differed very with skutterudite material Greatly(During 373K, metal Mo and skutterudite material thermal expansion coefficient are respectively 5.4 × 10-6K-1With 10 × 10-6K-1), and the conductance of Mo Rate is relatively low, and Mo is not as suitable as the electrode material of skutterudite device;In patent documentation CN101101955A and In CN100552999C, Zhao etc. to substitute single Ni metal or Mo electrode using alloy material Mo-W and Mo-Cu as electrode, Using metal Ti as intermediate layer material, achieve the connection of electrode, intermediate layer and thermoelectric material with the method for SPS.But use The method of SPS realizing the connection of electrode, intermediate layer and thermoelectric material, high cost, complex operation and be not suitable for producing in batches, and The temperature end that the electrode layer of excessive densification is easily caused thermoelement still easily ftractures.
Therefore, in the urgent need to developing, a kind of process is simple, good reliability, preparation cost be low and suitable scale for this area The alloy electrode preparation method of the skutterudite-base thermoelectrical element producing, to be obtained, consistency is low, reduce electrode material and interface Negative effect that the difference of layer material thermal coefficient of expansion is brought, intermediate layer Ti alloy electrical contact performance be good and electrode and its heat The durability of electric device and thermal-shock resistance alloy electrode of good performance.
