Description

Ultra-fast preparation of Cu2Method for Se bulk thermoelectric material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoelectric material preparation, and particularly relates to ultra-fast preparation of Cu2A method of Se bulk thermoelectric material.
Background
The thermoelectric conversion technology directly converts heat energy and electric energy into each other by utilizing thermoelectric materials, has the characteristics of small system volume, high reliability, no emission of pollutants, wide applicable temperature range, effective utilization of low-density energy and the like, and has wide application in the fields of recycling of industrial waste heat and automobile exhaust waste heat, high-precision temperature control, special power technology and the like. The conversion efficiency of thermoelectric material is determined by nondimensional thermoelectric figure of merit ZT (ZT ═ alpha)2σ T/κ, where α is Seebeck coefficient, σ is electrical conductivity, κ is thermal conductivity, and T is absolute temperature). The larger the ZT, the higher the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the material. The high performance thermoelectric materials currently under investigation are generally Te-based, e.g., PbTe and Bi2Te3. The large-scale commercial application and sustainable development of the Te-based thermoelectric material are greatly restricted by the factors that the Te element is scarce in the earth and expensive and is also a main component element of the solar cell. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop high-performance thermoelectric materials with abundant reserves and low price and to find a low-cost ultra-fast preparation method.
Cu in recent years2Se compounds are of great interest to researchers for their excellent thermoelectric properties because they are typical "phonon liquids" exhibiting a transverse wave damping effect such that they have extremely low lattice thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, the Cu and Se are rich in source and low in priceSo that Cu2Se compounds have great potential for large-scale commercial production. At present Cu2The Se compound is mainly prepared by a long-time solid-phase reaction method, a melting annealing method and a self-propagating combustion synthesis technology, and a block body can be obtained only by further sintering densification. Meanwhile, the problem that the high-temperature treatment cannot be solved all the time is that Se volatilizes, so that the control of components is difficult. Therefore, it is urgent to find a technology that is simple, energy-saving, green and environment-friendly, and simultaneously avoids high-temperature treatment.
