Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nano-material preparation, and in particular relates to a bismuth telluride nano-crystal bulk material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Bismuth telluride thermoelectric material is the thermoelectric material with the best performance at room temperature, and it is also one of the earliest and most mature thermoelectric materials studied. Currently, most refrigeration components use this type of thermoelectric material. However, its maximum dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit is still hovering around 1. If the electrical properties of bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric materials can be further optimized, its application scope and fields will be expanded. After years of research, it has been found that modifying its energy band structure through alloying and changing its transport properties through nanonization are two possible ways to further improve the perfor...
