Problems solved by technology

However, the poor mechanical properties of layered single crystals, and the long preparation time and high energy consumption make it difficult to apply to large-scale industrial production.
[0004] S. Sassi et al. prepared polycrystalline SnSe with a certain orientation by vacuum melting combined with spark plasma sintering. Its thermoelectric properties have certain anisotropy in the direction perpendicular to the pressure and parallel to the direction of pressure, but the The ZT difference on is not obvious, the maximum ZT value is only 0.5
Q.zhang et al. prepared polycrystalline SnSe by smelting method combined with hot pressing and sintering, which also has the problem of poor orientation, and the maximum ZT value is only 0.82 at 500 °C.

Usually, the simple substance of the corresponding element in the SnSe-based thermoelectric material or the compound formed by two or more elements in the SnSe-based thermoelectric material is selected as the reaction raw material. For example, when the SnSe-based thermoelectric material is SnSe 0.9 Br 0.1 When, Sn simple substance, Se simple substance and SnBr can be selected 2 compound as the starting material for the reaction. Preferably, the purity of the reaction raw materials is greater than or equal to 99%.

Abstract

The invention discloses an SnSe-based thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method includes steps: S100 weighing reaction raw material according to the stoichiometric ratio of the SnSe-based thermoelectric material; S200 refining the reaction raw material through a melt-refining process to obtain SnSe-based thermoelectric material ingots; and S300 placing SnSe-based thermoelectric material ingots obtained from the S200 in a zone smelting furnace and growing polycrystalline SnSe-based thermoelectric material through a zone melting method. The SnSe-based thermoelectric material obtained through the method is preferential and has better thermoelectric performance. Compared with a method for preparing monocrystalline SnSe-based thermoelectric material, the method is simple and is short in growth period, low in cost, and suitable for mass industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of thermoelectric materials, in particular to a SnSe-based thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric materials are functional materials that use the transport of phonons and carriers to realize the direct mutual conversion of thermal energy and electrical energy. Generally, the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT value) is used to characterize the performance of thermoelectric materials, where ZT=S 2 Tσ / κ, S is the Seebeck coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity, κ is the thermal conductivity, and T is the temperature. Generally, the larger the ZT value, the higher the thermoelectric conversion efficiency. The difficulty in increasing the ZT value is that the parameters that determine this value are interrelated. At present, the main ways to improve the ZT value are: to realize the thermal conductivity of the independent lattice by intr...
