Abstract

The invention discloses a hot forging processing method for optimizing performance of a polycrystalline bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric alloy material. The polycrystalline bismuth telluride-based blocky thermoelectric alloy, which is subjected to one-time hot press molding, is directly put into a graphite die for hot forging deformation and pressure maintaining so as to obtain the final thermoelectric alloy material. The inventive mechanism mainly comprises that: due to the hot forging deformation, the microstructure of the material is changed; stress induces the generation of point defect and nanometer structure inside the material, and meanwhile, triggers the recrystallization of the material for thinning crystal grains, thus prominently ameliorating thermoelectric performances that impact the material self. The invention has the characteristics of simple technology, low cost, short period and great suitability for large-scale production and application, and the manufactured bismuth telluride-based blocky thermoelectric alloy material has lower thermal conductivity and higher room temperature thermoelectric merit figure than the material prior to the hot forging deformation processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for optimizing the performance of a thermoelectric semiconductor material, in particular to a hot forging treatment method for optimizing the performance of a polycrystalline bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric alloy material. 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. The pe...
