Abstract
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...
