摘要 | We report the effect of Sn doping on the thermoelectric performance of (Bi0.25Sb0.75)2−xSnxTe3 compounds (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) synthesized by the melting method followed by high-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering. As indicated by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images, layered structure and inhomogeneous nanostructures are present in (Bi0.25Sb0.75)2−xSnxTe3. It is found that Sn doping dramatically reduces the thermal conductivity together with a minor decline in the electrical conductivity, yielding a net enhancement of the figure of merit (ZT). The highest ZT value is approximately 1.03 at 338 K when x is 0.01, an increase of 28.4% compared with the pure sample. © 2015, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society. |
