Abstract
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...
