Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor thermoelectric materials, in particular to a P-type α-MgAgSbSn thermoelectric material with a high figure of merit in a low temperature region and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A thermoelectric material is a semiconductor material that directly converts electrical energy and thermal energy through the movement of carriers (electrons or holes) inside the material. When there is a temperature difference between the two sections of the thermoelectric material, the thermoelectric material converts heat energy into electrical energy for output. Conversely, when a current is passed through the thermoelectric material, the hot spot material converts electrical energy into heat energy, and one end releases heat and the other end absorbs heat to achieve a cooling effect. Thermoelectric materials have a wide range of application backgrounds in refrigeration or power generation. Th...
