The invention relates to a GCM /
bismuth telluride-based composite thermoelectric material and a preparation method and application thereof, the
structural formula of the composite thermoelectric material is shown as Gd (Co < 0.433 > Mn < 0.567 >) < 2 > / Bi < 0.3 > Sb < 1.7 > Te3, and the composite thermoelectric material is obtained by introducing a magnetic second phase GCM (Gd (Co < 0.433 > Mn < 0.567 >) < 2 >) into a
bismuth telluride matrix Bi < 0.3 > Sb < 1.7 > Te3. Compared with the prior art, due to the introduction of the magnetic second phase GCM, a generated built-in
magnetic field and magnetic scattering, the mobility is reduced, the
Seebeck coefficient is increased, due to the
diffusion of the GCM, the carrier concentration is increased, the prepared composite thermoelectric material has high
electrical performance, meanwhile, due to the introduction of the GCM,
phonon scattering is increased, and the performance of the composite thermoelectric material is improved. According to the GCM /
bismuth telluride-based composite thermoelectric material, the
crystal lattice thermal conductivity of the
composite material is effectively reduced, the GCM /
bismuth telluride-based composite thermoelectric material has
high conductivity, low
thermal conductivity and high thermoelectric performance, and the average zT value of the
composite material is increased by 39% within the temperature range of 300-500 K. Wide application prospects are realized.
