The filled skutterudite thermoelectric material has excellent thermoelectric performance in a medium temperature region (room temperature to 500 ℃), and is expected to be used in the field of medium temperature region power generation. Many achievements exist in research of filled skutterudite materials, and thermoelectric properties and mechanical properties of the materials can be remarkably regulated and controlled in modes of single filling, double filling, multiple filling, nano-composite and the like.
Oxidation resistance is one of the important indicators for evaluating the stability of thermoelectric devices in long-term applications. The material needs to be in high temperature for a long time in the service process of the thermoelectric material, and the oxidation resistance determines how much protection measures need to be applied to the device, such as selecting a coating of what material, and the like. The oxidation resistance of the material is improved, so that the design cost of the thermoelectric device can be reduced, and the structure of the thermoelectric device is simplified. According to the prior art reports, skutterudite materials have poor oxidation resistance, and in particular p-type filled skutterudite materials have poorer oxidation resistance (=1\gb 3 (1) Qiu, p.; xia, x.; huang, x.; gu, m.; qiu, y.; chen, l., "nesting" -like oxidation phenomenon of p-type filled skutterudite Ce) 0.9 Fe 3 CoSb 12 .

Although the defect of reliability of the device caused by the excessively low oxidation resistance of the thermoelectric material can be partially overcome by the improvement of the design and the integration technology of the device, the use of the thermoelectric material with high oxidation resistance will be obviously improved.

In order to overcome the problem of poor oxidation resistance of skutterudite-based materials, the invention provides an oxidation-resistant skutterudite-based thermoelectric composite material and a preparation method thereof, wherein nano second-phase material silicon is added into skutterudite materials, so that the oxidation resistance of skutterudite-based thermoelectric materials is greatly improved while the thermoelectric properties of skutterudite-based thermoelectric materials are not deteriorated.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

For "CoSb 3 The filling amount of the basic skutterudite is between 0 and 50 percent by mass, the M position is doped by Fe, ni, pd, pt, the X position is doped by Sn, ge, se, te, and the mass percent of the filling amount is between 0 and 10 percent. For FeSb 3 The filling amount of the basic skutterudite is between 10 and 100 percent by mass, the M position is doped by Co, ni, pd, pt, mn and the like, the X position is doped by Sn, ge, se, te, and the mass fraction of the doping amount is between 0 and 10 percent. The filled and/or doped skutterudite thermoelectric material can be prepared by a conventional method. Such as described in the following documents: liu, R., qia, P., chen, X, huang, X, chen, L., composition optimization of p-type skutterudites Ce y Fe x Co x4- Sb 12 and Yb y Fe x Co x4- Sb 12 . Journal of Materials Research, 2011, 26 (15),1813-1819。
The skutterudite thermoelectric material may be in the form of powder, granule or tablet. Preferably, the solid skutterudite material is a powder with a particle size of 0.5-70 μm.
Preferably, the form of the nano second phase material is nano powder with the particle size of 10-500 nm, a nano tube with the diameter of 10-100 nm, or a nano wire with the diameter of 5-100 nm and the length of 100nm-2 μm. The shape and the size of the nanometer second phase material are in a reasonable range, and the composite material can obtain more excellent oxidation resistance.

The above 3 composite materials are respectively the most excellent oxidation resistance and thermoelectric comprehensive performance of silicon under different forms. It can be seen that the optimal amount of nano second phase material in different forms is different. In contrast, the dispersibility of the powder is optimal, so that the optimal effect can be achieved with a minimum amount.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the antioxidant skutterudite-based thermoelectric composite material, which comprises the following steps: mixing skutterudite thermoelectric material and nano second phase material, and sintering by discharge plasma or hot-press sintering to obtain nano second phase material/skutterudite thermoelectric composite material.
Preferably, the mixing method is one of the following three methods:
(1) ball milling method under gas protection with ball material ratio (3-20) of 1, rotation speed of 200-500 r/min, ball milling time of 5-360 min, wherein the gas is Ar or N 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The ball milling tank adopts a stainless steel ball milling tank and hard alloy WC balls;

Preferably, in the hot press sintering, the pressure is 10-100 MPa, the sintering temperature of the n-type filled skutterudite composite material is 620-690 ℃, and the sintering temperature of the p-type filled skutterudite composite material is 580-660 ℃.
n-type and p-type filled skutterudite composite materials have different optimal sintering temperatures due to the different microstructures.
Therefore, the invention has the beneficial effects that: the nano second phase material silicon and graphite are added into the skutterudite material, so that the prepared nano second phase material/skutterudite thermoelectric composite material greatly improves the oxidation resistance of the skutterudite thermoelectric composite material, and meanwhile, the thermoelectric performance of the composite material is improved or basically maintained unchanged relative to the original matrix.
The silicon and the graphite have strong oxidation resistance, and the nano phases of the silicon and the graphite are distributed on the grain boundary of the skutterudite material, so that the diffusion of oxygen on the grain boundary can be effectively relieved, the oxidation resistance of the material can be improved, and the obtained composite material does not generate powdering phenomenon in the range of 650-850K; more importantly, the addition of silicon and graphite can keep the thermoelectric performance of the composite material to be improved or basically maintained unchanged relative to the original matrix.
The inventor has tried many other antioxidant materials in the early stage, either the improvement of the antioxidant performance is not obvious, or the thermoelectric performance of the composite material is greatly reduced, and only the thermoelectric performance of the skutterudite-based thermoelectric material is not deteriorated, but the antioxidant performance of the skutterudite-based thermoelectric material is greatly improved, so that the inventor has obvious progress compared with the prior art. Because the conductivity is reduced due to the addition of the back scattering carrier into the second phase material, the silicon and the graphite selected by the invention have an energy filtering effect, so that the Zebra coefficient is not greatly changed, and even is slightly improved; scattering of phonons after addition of silicon and graphite can lead to reduction of thermal conductivity of the composite material compared with a matrix, and finally the composite material is formed byzT=S 2 σT/κCalculating the dimensionless figure of merit of the composite material of the present inventionzTThe value may be maintained at 0.8 to 1.2 times that of the skutterudite thermoelectric material matrix.
