Embodiment 1

[0018] Example 1: Sr 0.25 Yb 0.1 co 4 Sb 12 Material

[0019] The metal raw materials Sr, Yb, Co, and Sb are mixed according to the molar ratio of 0.25:0.1:4:12, sealed in a quartz tube, and a small amount of Ar gas is filled in the quartz tube for protection. The mixed raw materials were melted at 1000° C. for 3.5 hours. Quenching is carried out after melting, the quenching medium is oil, and the quenching speed is about 150°C / s. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the synthesized material was pure Sr 0.25 Yb 0.1 co 4 Sb 12 Filled with skutterudite material (see figure 1 ). Thermal conductivity tests show that Sr 0.25 Yb 0.1 co 4 Sb 12 Multi-filled materials have a higher ratio than (single) filled skutterudite Sr y co 4 Sb 12 Lower lattice thermal conductivity (see figure 2 ). ZT value calculation results show that Sr 0.25 Yb 0.1 co 4 Sb 12 Multi-filled skutterudite materials have excellent thermoelectric properties (see image 3 ).

Embodiment 2

[0020] Example 2: Sr 0.2 Ce 0.2 co 3.0 Fe 1.0 Sb 12 Material

[0021] The metal raw materials Sr, Ce, Co, Fe, Sb are compounded according to the molar ratio of 0.2:0.2:3:1:12, sealed in a quartz tube, and the inside of the quartz tube is vacuumed. The mixed raw materials were melted at 1050° C. for 1 hour. Quenching is carried out after the melting is completed, the quenching medium is water, and the quenching speed is about 200°C / s. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the synthesized material was Sr 0.25 Ce 0.05 co 3.0 Fe 1.0 Sb 12 Filled with skutterudite material.

Embodiment 3

[0022] Example 3: Ca 0.05 Eu 0.25 co 3.5 Ni 0.5 Sb 11.95 Te 0.05 Material

[0023] The metal raw materials Ca, Eu, Co, Ni, Sb, Te are mixed according to the molar ratio of 0.05:0.25:3.5:0.5:11.95:0.05, sealed in a quartz tube, and a small amount of Ar gas is filled in the quartz tube for protection. The mixed raw materials were melted at 1025° C. for 2.5 hours. Quenching is carried out after the melting is completed, the quenching medium is brine, and the quenching speed is about 300°C / s. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the synthesized material was Ca 0.05 Eu 0.25 co 3.5 Ni 0.5 Sb 11.95 Te 0.05 Filled with skutterudite material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multi-filled skutterudite thermoelectric material and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of thermoelectric materials. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric power generation technology is a technology that directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy. It has the characteristics of small size, high reliability, and long life. It plays an important role in technical fields such as space science, military equipment, and waste heat power generation. The key to the thermoelectric power generation system is the thermoelectric material, and its performance is usually expressed by the dimensionless performance index ZT (ZT=α 2 σT / κ, where α is the Seebeck coefficient; σ is the electrical conductivity; κ is the thermal conductivity, and T is the absolute temperature). The higher the ZT value, the better the performance of the material and the higher the efficiency of thermoelectric power generation....
