Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of thermoelectric materials, and in particular relates to a composite solid thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique
[0002] A thermoelectric material is a material that uses the transport of carriers in a solid to achieve mutual conversion between thermal energy and electrical energy. It has the advantages of small size, no noise, zero pollution discharge, etc., so it has broad application prospects. American scientist Slack proposed that the material has the high electronic conductivity of crystals and the low thermal conductivity of glass, which can optimize its thermoelectric performance. The thermoelectric performance is usually evaluated by the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT, where ZT=S 2 Tσ / κ, S is the thermoelectric potential or Seebeck coefficient, T is the absolute temperature, σ is the electrical conductivity, and κ is the thermal conductivity.
