The patent (CN101693962) discloses a preparation method of p-type filled skutterudite material. The raw material is weighed in a glove box, packaged and pressed into tablets, placed in a melt spinning equipment, heated by high-frequency induction for ~5 seconds, and repeated for 3 ~5 times to ensure that the melt composition is uniform, and the melt is spun to obtain a ribbon-shaped product with an amorphous / nanocrystalline composite structure, which is powdered and pressed into tablets, and then SPS (530 ° C, 5 minutes) to obtain a pure-phase bulk material; Both methods require expensive melt spinning equipment, and in the process of master alloy remelting, the sample is heated and melted as a whole, and there is a large volatilization of Sb phase, so it is difficult to accurately control the final block test during large-scale preparation. The composition content of the sample, resulting in fluctuations in material properties

Abstract

The invention relates to an efficient preparation method for a skutterudite thermoelectric material through laser. The efficient preparation method comprises the steps that 1, according to the chemical formula of the skutterudite thermoelectric material, pure metal powder is weighed to serve as raw material powder and is put into a graphite matrix after being uniformly mixed; 2, the graphite matrix loaded with the raw material powder is put into an inert atmosphere, and the raw material powder is heated through the laser melting technology, melted along with movement of laser spots and then condensed, so that a cast ingot is obtained; and 3, the cast ingot prepared in the step 2 is ground into powder, the cast ingot powder is sintered through spark plasmas, and thus the skutterudite thermoelectric material is obtained. According to the efficient preparation method for the skutterudite thermoelectric material through the laser, the local powder is heated through the high-energy laser, rapid melting is achieved, and the loss of Sb phases is reduced; then, small-capacity melt is rapidly condensed, and the segregation size is decreased; and subsequently, the SPS short-time heat treatment process is combined, so that efficient preparation of the skutterudite thermoelectric material is achieved.
