The invention discloses a novel thermoelectric material based on N-type BiSbSe3 polycrystal and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of thermoelectric material preparation, the thermoelectric material is S
solid solution and
halogen doped N-type BiSbSe3 polycrystal, the chemical general formula of the thermoelectric material is BiSbSe3-x-y SxMy, M is one of Br, Cl and I, the
molar ratio of Bi to Sb to Se to S to M is 1: 1: 3-x-y: x: y, x is greater than or equal to 0.12 and less than or equal to 0.48, and y is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.06. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) weighing required raw materials including a Bi elementary substance, a Sb elementary substance, a Se elementary substance, Bi2S3 and a
halogen introducing substance, ensuring that the
molar ratio of Bi to Sb to Se to S to M is 1: 1: (3-x-y): x: y, M is Br or Cl or I, x is more than or equal to 0.12 and less than or equal to 0.48, y is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.06, and mixing the raw materials after weighing; and (2) carrying out high-temperature melting synthesis reaction on the mixed raw materials, and cooling along with a furnace after the reaction is finished, so as to finally obtain the N-type BiSbSe3 polycrystal. The problems that in the prior art, when BiSbSe3 is prepared, a
quenching technology is needed for assistance,
energy consumption is large, time is long, and part of media are low in safety and not
environmentally friendly are solved.
