Description

Bismuth telluride-based composite thermoelectric material of flexible thermoelectric device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a semiconductor thermoelectric power generation and refrigeration material, in particular to a bismuth telluride-based composite thermoelectric material applied to a flexible thermoelectric device and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of thermoelectric conversion new energy materials.
Background
The thermoelectric device has the advantages of no pollution, no noise, small volume, high reliability and the like, has wide application prospect and potential economic value in the fields of thermoelectric power generation, refrigeration, solar energy, industrial waste heat utilization and the like, and has been successfully applied to high and new technical fields such as deep space exploration, military equipment, IT industry and the like as a special power supply and a high-precision temperature controller2σ T/κ, where α is the Seebeck coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity, κ is the thermal conductivity, T is the absolute temperatureEAnd lattice thermal conductivity κLI.e. k ═ kEL. Theoretically, the thermal conductivity (κ) is reducedEL) And improving the electrical conductivity sigma and Seebeck coefficient α of the material, (improving the electrical transmission performance α)2Sigma) can achieve the goal of improving the ZT value, but because of strong electro-acoustic interaction in the thermoelectric material, three parameters of sigma, α and kappa are difficult to be cooperatively regulated and controlled, and how to optimize the electric and thermal transport performance to obtain the high ZT value is a research problem in the field of thermoelectric devices.
On the other hand, as electronic devices are miniaturized and integrated, there is an increasing demand for miniaturized, highly efficient, and long-life flexible thermoelectric power generation and refrigeration devices. The bismuth telluride-based alloy is one of the most mature thermoelectric materials studied at home and abroad, and is also the material with the best thermoelectric property near room temperature. The preparation method comprises molecular beam epitaxy method, zone melting method, mechanical alloying method, pulsed laser deposition method, and magnetismAnd performing a controlled sputtering method and the like, wherein the maximum thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of the obtained p-type bismuth telluride-based material and the obtained n-type bismuth telluride-based material is 0.8-1. At present, the performance optimization research of the bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material applied to the flexible thermoelectric device has some outstanding problems, such as (1) the thermal conductivity of the bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material (1.11 W.m)-1·K-1) The high temperature limits the improvement of the thermoelectric performance; and (2) the electric conductivity of the bismuth telluride-based thin film and thick film thermoelectric material is far lower than that of a block material, and the reason is that organic matters volatilize in the heat treatment process to cause loose and porous film structures and reduced density. In the research aspect of the preparation method of the bismuth telluride base film material, the method for preparing the thick film thermoelectric material mainly comprises the following steps: the screen printing method, the ink jet printing method, the dispensing printing method, the electrochemical deposition method and the spin coating method are successively researched and reported, the methods generally have the problems of higher equipment cost, complex operation and the like, and the controllability of the preparation process is poor, and the thermoelectric property of the film material is unstable, so that the large-scale industrial production is difficult to realize. In order to improve the thermoelectric property of the bismuth telluride based film material, researchers have proposed that a proper amount of sintering aid is added to greatly increase the density of the material, so as to improve the conductivity of the material. However, a large amount of chemical reagents are needed for preparing the sintering aid, and part of organic reagents such as hydrazine hydrate, ethanethiol, trioctylphosphine and the like have the problems of high price, toxicity, high requirement on operating environment conditions and the like. Researchers find that the purpose of improving the electric transmission performance can be achieved by compounding a trace amount of inorganic nano second phase (such as SiC) or nano conductive particles (such as Ag, Cu and the like) with the bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material. However, the doped Cu can greatly improve the thermal conductivity while improving the electrical conductivity, and the comprehensive thermoelectric performance is sometimes even reduced. The nano SiC is generally prepared by a mechanical alloying Method (MA), and the method has the problems of high energy consumption and low product purity, so that the problem of difficult control of performance stability in industrial application is caused. Similarly, the nano conductive particles generally need to be compounded with a matrix material in the form of a metal compound solution or by an electrochemical deposition method, and have the disadvantages of high preparation cost, complex process, high requirements on equipment conditions and the like, so that large-scale industrial production is difficult to realize.
