Abstract

The invention relates to a novel germanium telluride based thermo-electric material with high thermo-electric performance and a preparation method thereof. The chemical expression of the novel germanium telluride based thermo-electric material is (Ge<1-x>Cu<2x>Te)<1-y>(PbSe)<y>, wherein x is equal to 0.02, and y is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.25. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking a metal simple substance as a raw material, proportioning according to a stoichiometric ratio, carrying out vacuum packaging, high-temperature melting, annealing heat treatment and quenching to obtain a cast ingot, grinding the cast ingot into powder, and carrying out vacuum hot pressing to obtain a flaky material, namely the target component: the novel germanium telluride based thermo-electric material. Compared with the prior art, the thermo-electric material provided by the invention creates a new record of zT peak value and average zT (the peak value zT reaches 2.5 at 600-800K, and the average zT of the working temperature is greater than 1.5), and is a material with optimal thermo-electric performance in GeTe at present, which is higher than other known p-type thermo-electric materials; through defect regulation and control in GeTe, the optimization of carrier concentration and the reduction of lattice thermal conductivity are realized, and the high thermo-electric performance with record-ability is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoelectric materials, and relates to a novel germanium telluride-based thermoelectric material with high thermoelectric performance and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric semiconductor material is a new type of clean energy material based on the Seebeck effect that can directly convert industrial waste heat into electricity with zero emissions and no transmission parts. It is generally considered to be an eco-friendly, sustainable and effective solution to the energy crisis. The current relative conversion efficiency of thermoelectric semiconductor materials is low, which limits the large-scale application of thermoelectric devices. Usually, the intrinsic properties of materials, the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit zT, can be used to measure the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials, zT=S 2 T / ρκ, where: T is the absolute temperature, S i...
