The invention discloses a
tungsten-doped ZrNiSn thermoelectric
composite material as well as a preparation method and application thereof, ZrNiSn is taken as a matrix, ZrNiSn
powder and W nanoparticles are uniformly mixed, and the ZrNiSn-W thermoelectric
composite material is obtained through rapid densification treatment. Through the combination of
tungsten modulation doping and an energy filtering effect, the
bottleneck of half-Heusler material PF-zT
coupling optimization is broken through, and the PF and zT values of the thermoelectric material are significantly improved; according to the invention, the
hafnium element is abandoned, a large-scale and low-cost solution is provided for large-scale application of the half-Heusler thermoelectric material, the
raw material cost is reduced by more than 95%, and an economical solution is provided for large-scale deployment of the thermoelectric material.
