Problems solved by technology

However, the two phases are generally synthesized first, and then the two phases are artificially mixed, which makes it difficult to control the distribution of the two phases, and will inevitably introduce interface contamination, which will affect the electrical properties of the material.
There are also some in-situ generated second phases, although they can reduce interface contamination, but they are all excessive metal phases and oxidized phases that appear during the synthesis process. The distribution of these second phases is also uncertain, and more importantly, these second phases Neither phase is a good thermoelectric material

Embodiment 1

[0019] Raw materials are stoichiometrically compared to Mg 2 Si 0.5 sn 0.5 After calculation and weighing, put it in a ceramic tube protected by Ar gas, heat it in a furnace at 1100°C and fully melt it, then quickly move the ceramic tube to a furnace at 860°C, and then cool it to 780°C at a cooling rate of 1°C / min. Annealed at 600°C for 100h, then mechanically ball-milled the material, then hot-pressed in vacuum at 600°C and 80MPa for 2h. The in-situ composite Mg-Si-Sn based thermoelectric material is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an in-situ composite Mg-Si-Sn-based thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A thermoelectric material is a semiconductor material that directly converts electrical energy and thermal energy through the movement of carriers (electrons or holes). When there is a temperature difference between the two ends of the thermoelectric material, the thermoelectric material can convert heat energy into electrical energy output; or conversely, when a current is passed through the thermoelectric material, the thermoelectric material can convert electrical energy into heat energy, and one end releases heat while the other end absorbs heat. Thermoelectric materials have a wide range of application backgrounds in refrigeration or power generation. Power generation devices made of thermoelectric materials ca...
