In this case, but not limited to, a multi-scale structure comprising at least two of the magnetic phase Ti n O 2n-1 phase, (Ti, Cr) n O 2n-1 phase, TiCrO 3 phase and Cr phase It is preferable that the sintered body has.
また、本発明の他の一観点に係る熱電変換材料の製造方法は、TiO2粉末とCr粉末とを混合して混合粉末とし、この混合粉末を焼結することを特徴とする。 A method for producing a thermoelectric conversion material according to another aspect of the present invention is characterized in that TiO 2 powder and Cr powder are mixed to form a mixed powder, and the mixed powder is sintered.
以上本発明は、より高出力となる熱電変換材料及びその製造方法を提供することができる。 As described above, the present invention can provide a thermoelectric conversion material with higher output and a method for producing the same.

It is highly useful. Furthermore, although this material becomes clear by the below-mentioned Example, it is a thermoelectric conversion material used as a higher output.
また、本実施形態において熱電変換材料の製造方法は、TiO2粉末とCr粉末とを混合して混合粉末とし、この混合粉末を焼結することを特徴とする。 In the present embodiment, the method for producing a thermoelectric conversion material is characterized in that TiO 2 powder and Cr powder are mixed to form a mixed powder, and this mixed powder is sintered.
TiO2粉末とCr粉末とを混合する手段としては、限定されるわけではないが、ボールミルを用いることによって混合することが好ましい。この場合において、TiO2粉末とCr粉末を混合する量は、Ti1−xCrxOz(0<x≦0.5)の範囲となるよう原子比で秤量して混合することが好ましい。 The means for mixing the TiO 2 powder and the Cr powder is not limited, but is preferably mixed by using a ball mill. In this case, it is preferable to weigh and mix the TiO 2 powder and Cr powder in an atomic ratio so that the amount of Ti 2 and Cr powder is in the range of Ti 1-x Cr x O z (0 <x ≦ 0.5).
TiO2粉末の粒径は、混合粉砕することで均一に混合されることができる範囲であれば特に限定されるわけではないが、0.1mm以上2mm以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは1mm以下である。 The particle size of the TiO 2 powder is not particularly limited as long as it can be uniformly mixed by mixing and pulverizing, but is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 2 mm or less, more preferably 1 mm. It is as follows.

混合する時間等の条件は、上記粉末が十分に混合される限り制限はなく適宜調整可能であるが、ボールミルによって混合する場合は、100rpm以上500rpm以下程度である場合、1時間以上5時間以下の範囲であることが好ましい一例である。またこの場合において、混合の際に発熱を防ぐ観点から混合中に混合動作を一時停止するインターバル期間を設けておくことも好ましい。 Conditions such as mixing time are not limited as long as the powder is sufficiently mixed, and can be adjusted as appropriate. However, when mixing by a ball mill, when the mixing speed is about 100 rpm or more and 500 rpm or less, it is 1 hour or more and 5 hours or less. A preferable example is the range. In this case, it is also preferable to provide an interval period for temporarily stopping the mixing operation during mixing from the viewpoint of preventing heat generation during mixing.

以上、本方法は、より高出力となる熱電変換材料の製造方法となる。 As described above, this method is a method for producing a thermoelectric conversion material with higher output.
ここで、上記実施形態に係る熱電変換材料について、実際に作製を行いその効果を確認した。以下具体的に示す。 Here, about the thermoelectric conversion material which concerns on the said embodiment, it produced actually and confirmed the effect. This is specifically shown below.
まずルチル型のTiO2粉末(粒径約0.3mm、純度99.0%)とCr粉末(粒径約10μm、純度98%)を所定の原子比(x=0.1,0.15,0.175,0.2,0.25,0.3,0.35,0.5)に秤量した。 First, rutile type TiO 2 powder (particle size: about 0.3 mm, purity: 99.0%) and Cr powder (particle size: about 10 μm, purity: 98%) are mixed at a predetermined atomic ratio (x = 0.1, 0.15, 0.175, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.5).
このそれぞれに対し、別途混合処理を行った。具体的には、それぞれ秤量した粉末に対し、秤量した粉末と10mmのWC製ボール30個を内容積250mlのWC製ポットの約1/3となるよう充填および封入し、遊星型ボールミル(5/4型,株式会社フリッチュ製)によってそれぞれ混合した。 Each of these was separately mixed. Specifically, the weighed powder and 30 10 mm WC balls were filled and sealed into each of the weighed powders so as to be about 1/3 of a 250 ml WC pot, and a planetary ball mill (5 / 4 type, manufactured by Fritsch Co., Ltd.).
なお混合は、80mLのアセトンを溶媒として湿式で2h、アセトンを蒸発させてから乾式で2h、いずれも回転速度300rpmで行った。ただし、長時間回転させることによる発熱を防ぐため、湿式混合、乾式混合のいずれにおいても10min回転させる毎に2min中断して冷却する時間を設け、ポットの総回転時間が2hとなるよう混合した。 The mixing was carried out using 80 mL of acetone as a solvent in a wet manner for 2 h, and after evaporating the acetone, the dry method was carried out for 2 h, both at a rotational speed of 300 rpm. However, in order to prevent heat generation by rotating for a long time, in each of the wet mixing and the dry mixing, a cooling time was provided by interrupting for 2 minutes each time the rotation was performed for 10 minutes, and mixing was performed so that the total rotation time of the pot was 2 h.
ついで、上記混合した粉末それぞれを、グラファイトの型に充填し、放電プラズマ焼結(SPS:SPS−1030,住友石油鉱業株式会社製)した。焼結条件は真空中、印加圧力27.3MPa、焼結温度1273K、焼結保持時間5minとした。なお焼結後の冷却は炉冷とした。 Next, each of the mixed powders was filled into a graphite mold and subjected to spark plasma sintering (SPS: SPS-1030, manufactured by Sumitomo Oil Mining Co., Ltd.). The sintering conditions were an applied pressure of 27.3 MPa, a sintering temperature of 1273 K, and a sintering holding time of 5 min in vacuum. The cooling after sintering was furnace cooling.
一方、比較例として、x=0となるTiO2と、Crのみのものを上記と同様の手順で作製した。 On the other hand, as a comparative example, TiO 2 where x = 0 and only Cr were prepared in the same procedure as described above.
そして、上記によって得られた焼結体から試験片を切り出し、XRDパターン、電気抵抗率、ゼーベック係数、出力因子、キャリア熱伝導率、について評価を行った。この結果を図1乃至図5にそれぞれ示す。また図6に、x=0.1,0.2,0.25,0.30,0.35,0.50に関し、作製した試験片のSEM画像を示しておく。なお、出力因子(P)は、電気抵抗率(ρ)とゼーベシック係数(S)を用い、P=S2/ρの式により求めた。 And the test piece was cut out from the sintered compact obtained by the above, and the XRD pattern, the electrical resistivity, the Seebeck coefficient, the output factor, and the carrier thermal conductivity were evaluated. The results are shown in FIGS. FIG. 6 shows SEM images of the produced test pieces for x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.50. In addition, the output factor (P) was calculated | required by the type | formula of P = S < 2 > / (rho) using the electrical resistivity ((rho)) and the Seebasic coefficient (S).
この結果、いずれの試験片においても半導体的挙動を示した。特に、値は10−4〜10−6Ωmと、Cr添加量x=0の比較例に比べ電気抵抗率は2〜3桁の大幅な低減が確認できた。 As a result, all the test pieces showed semiconductor behavior. In particular, the value was 10 −4 to 10 −6 Ωm, and the electrical resistivity was confirmed to be significantly reduced by 2 to 3 digits as compared with the comparative example in which the Cr addition amount x = 0.
一方で、ゼーベック係数については、Crの添加による低下が確認された。しかしながら、電気抵抗率の大幅な低減によって出力因子が向上することが確認でき、特に、Cr添加量0.175(17.5at%)のものは、973Kにおいて出力因子が0.65mW/K2mにまで達したことを確認した。 On the other hand, about Seebeck coefficient, the fall by addition of Cr was confirmed. However, it can be confirmed that the output factor is improved by greatly reducing the electrical resistivity. In particular, when the Cr addition amount is 0.175 (17.5 at%), the output factor is 0.65 mW / K 2 m at 973K. It was confirmed that it reached to.
以上本実施例によって、より高出力となる熱電変換材料及びその製造方法を提供することができることを確認した。 As described above, it was confirmed that the thermoelectric conversion material with higher output and the manufacturing method thereof can be provided by this example.
本発明は、熱伝変換材料およびその製造方法として産業上の利用可能性がある。 The present invention has industrial applicability as a heat transfer material and a method for producing the same.
