Problems solved by technology

[0006] At present, although undoped CuGaTe has been reported at 950K 2 The thermoelectric figure of merit of semiconductors can reach 1.4, but the uncertainty of this data lies in the fact that the material is already near the phase transition temperature at 950K, and it is difficult to maintain its thermal stability and maintain its deformation as a bulk material

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy materials, in particular to a thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric devices can convert heat energy and electric energy into each other, which is characterized by no noise and no pollution, and is very suitable for recycling waste heat. The essence of thermoelectric conversion technology is a technology that utilizes the Seebeck effect (Seebeck) and Peltier effect (Peltier effect) of semiconductor thermoelectric materials to realize direct mutual conversion of thermal energy and electrical energy. [0003] The thermoelectric figure of merit ZT is a dimensionless parameter used to characterize the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials, where Z is called the thermoelectric figure of merit or figure of merit, and T is the temperature: [0004] ZT=S 2 σT / κ [0005] In the formula, S is the thermoelectric pote...
