Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy materials, and particularly relates to a magnetic thermoelectric multilayer film with enhanced thermoelectric performance and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The high integration, high power and flexibility of microelectronic devices urgently require the development of efficient flexible thermal management solutions. The in-plane heat dissipation technology based on thin-film thermoelectric refrigeration has attracted extensive attention from researchers at home and abroad due to its high theoretical power density and small volume. However, the development of high-performance and low-cost flexible thermoelectric thin films is extremely difficult, which greatly limits the application of thin-film thermoelectric refrigeration technology in the thermal management of microelectronic devices: The superlattice thin films prepared by foreign research scholars using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technology have very high thermoelectric performance and refrigeration power density, but the preparation cost is too high; while the thermoelectric conversion performance, especially the electrical transport performance, of the low-cost thermoelectric thin films prepared by traditional processes (such as chemical vapor deposition, pulsed laser deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, etc.) deteriorates severely. Therefore, how to greatly improve the thermoelectric performance of low-cost thermoelectric thin films is a challenging problem facing their application.

[0003] At present, the widely studied low-cost flexible thermoelectric thin films mainly focus on organic thermoelectric thin films and organic / inorganic composite thermoelectric thin films. Among them, organic thermoelectric thin films have excellent flexibility but usually very low thermoelectric performance, and organic / inorganic composite thermoelectric thin films have received increasing attention due to their advantages of both organic and inorganic thin films. At the same time, various means such as hot pressing sintering, interface modification, conductive polymer composite, and modulation doping are used to further improve the electrothermal transport performance of organic / inorganic composite thermoelectric thin films, but still cannot meet the requirements of efficient heat dissipation of electronic devices. Summary of the Invention
