Problems solved by technology

This method cannot convert CoSb 3 Nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the material, but enriched on the grain boundary, which has a significant effect on the deterioration of the electrical transport performance of the material
[0015] According to Johnson et al. (US patent application 5,994,639, 1999-11-30), the thermoelectric properties of skutterudite materials with superlattice metastable structure can be improved, but this typical layered structure is usually only available in two-dimensional Realized in structural materials (such as thin films), it is difficult to prepare in three-dimensional bulk materials
[0016] In summary, so far, in the field of p-type skutterudite materials, not only an effective multi-filler material is lacking, but also a stable composite material is lacking, and materials combining the two and their preparation processes are currently not yet

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of p-type skutterudite materials, and provides a p-type skutterudite material with high thermoelectric performance and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric conversion technology is a technology that uses the Seebeck effect of materials to directly convert heat energy into electrical energy, or uses the Peltier effect of materials for refrigeration. This technology has no moving parts, high reliability, and long life. It can be widely used in waste heat power generation, aerospace power supply, medical and sanitary refrigeration, household refrigeration appliances and other fields. The thermoelectric conversion efficiency mainly depends on the dimensionless thermoelectric performance factor ZT of the material (ZT=S 2 σT / κ, where S is the Seebeck coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity, κ is the thermal conductivity, and T is the absolute temperature). The higher the ZT valu...
