Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoelectric materials, and in particular relates to a multi-energy level doped PbTe-based thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique

[0002] The material of a thermoelectric generator or thermoelectric cooler is called a thermoelectric material, which is a material that can realize the interactive transformation of electrical energy and thermal energy. Thermoelectric power generation and refrigeration devices made of thermoelectric materials have the advantages of no pollution, no noise, easy maintenance, safety and reliability. The earliest Soviets used kerosene lamps or wood as a heat source to power domestic radio receivers in remote areas. With increasing interest in space exploration, and increasing resource exploration and exploration activities on Earth, there is a need to develop a class of power systems that can supply their own energy and leave it alone. ...
