Abstract

The invention relates to a rapid preparation method of a high performance CuFeS2 thermoelectric material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) weighing raw materials: Cu powder, Fe powder, and S powder according to the chemical stoichiometric ratio of the chemical formula CuFeS2 of (0.95-1.05):(0.95-1.05):(2-2.5), mixing and evenly grinding the powder, and then pressing the powder into block-shaped blanks; (2) triggering thermal explosion reactions in the block-shaped blanks obtained in the step (1), naturally cooling after the reactions to obtain a single-phase CuFeS2 compound; (3) grinding the product obtained in the step (2) into powder, carrying out discharge plasma activation, and sintering so as to obtain the high performance CuFeS2 thermoelectric material. The method has the advantages of fast reaction speed, simple technology, high efficiency, energy saving, and good repeatability. The whole preparation can be finished within 15 minutes, and the thermoelectric merit figure of the obtained blocks can reach 0.2 at a temperature of 350 DEG C.
