The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of thermoelectric
semiconductor materials, and provides a method for synthesizing an Mg3 (Bi, Sb) 2-based material through ball milling in order to solve the problems that in the process of synthesizing a
magnesium-based material through a ball milling method, the preparation time is long, and components are not uniform due to material
cold welding caking, and the like, and the method comprises the steps that high-purity Bi particles, high-purity Sb particles and high-purity Mg chips are weighed in a glove box under the
inert atmosphere; secondly, in a glove box, Bi particles and Sb particles are placed in a ball milling tank, ball milling balls with different diameters are added, and then pre-ball milling is conducted under the
inert atmosphere; the preparation method comprises the following steps: pre-ball-milling Bi and Sb
powder, adding Mg chips under the protection of an
inert atmosphere after pre-ball-milling, fully mixing the ball-milled Bi and Sb
powder with the Mg chips, and then ball-milling in the inert atmosphere to obtain the Mg3 (Bi, Sb) 2-based material. By changing the feeding sequence and optimizing the feeding particle size, the specific surface area of the
powder is increased, the
reaction speed of the powder and the
Mg element is increased, and the phenomena of adhesion of the material and the tank wall and
cold welding agglomeration are prevented, so that the
material synthesis efficiency and the component uniformity are improved.
