Abstract

The invention relates to a method for connecting a skutterudite thermoelectric material and an electrode by using a high-thermal-stability alloy composite intermediate layer, in particular to the method for connecting the skutterudite thermoelectric material and the electrode. The method aims to solve the problems of poor thermal stability and large contact resistance of a joint obtained by the existing skutterudite thermoelectric material welding method. The method comprises the following steps of 1, cleaning the skutterudite thermoelectric material and the electrode; and 2, preparing the intermediate connecting layer and a diffusion barrier layer by using an electroplating or physical vapor deposition method, and carrying out diffusion welding, wherein the intermediate connecting layer is made of Co, Fe or Ni, and the diffusion barrier layer is made of CoMo, CoW, FeMo or FeW. According to the method, the joint obtained by utilizing the intermediate connecting layer and the diffusionbarrier layer has low contact resistivity, and the thermal stability of the joint is high. The method is suitable for connecting the skutterudite thermoelectric material and the electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for connecting skutterudite thermoelectric materials and electrodes. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric materials are a class of materials that use the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect to convert heat energy and electric energy. It has great potential utilization value. In the practical application of bulk thermoelectric materials, it is necessary to connect P-type thermoelectric materials and N-type thermoelectric materials with electrode materials to form thermoelectric pairs, and then use several thermoelectric pairs to form thermoelectric devices with a certain power. The contact resistance between thermoelectric materials and electrodes will significantly reduce the maximum conversion efficiency and output power of thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectric devices are required to work continuously for several to ten years at the service temperature, which poses a high challenge to the thermal stabili...
