AbstractWe performed comparative investigations of the Ag1-xPb18MTe20 (M = Bi, Sb) (x = 0, 0.14, 0.3) system to better understand the roles of Sb and Bi on the thermoelectric properties. In both systems, the electrical conductivity nearly keeps the same values, while the Seebeck coefficient decreases dramatically in going from Sb to Bi. Compared to the lattice thermal conductivity of PbTe, that of AgPb18BiTe20 is substantially reduced. The lattice thermal conductivity of the Bi analog, however, is higher than that of AgPb18SbTe20 and this is attributed largely to the decrease in the degree of mass fluctuation between the nanostructures and the matrix (for the Bi analog). As a result the dimensionless figure of merit ZT of Ag1-xPb18MTe20 (M = Bi) is found to be smaller than that of Ag1-xPb18MTe20 (M = Sb).

ABSTRACTOur efforts to improve the thermoelectric properties of β-K2Bi8Se13, led to systematic studies of solid solutions of the type β-K2Bi8−xSbxSe13. The charge transport properties and thermal conductivities were studied for selected members of the series. Lattice thermal conductivity decreases due to the mass fluctuation generated in the lattice by the mixed occupation of Sb and Bi atoms. Se excess as a dopant was found to increase the figure-of merit of the solid solutions.

A series of binary-doped CoSb3 with Te and Se/Sn bulk compounds Co4Sb[Formula: see text]TexSny/Sey ([Formula: see text] and 0.6, [Formula: see text] and 0.3), have been successfully prepared via a simple high pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) method. And, the influence of the doping elements on the microstructure of the samples synthesized under diverse pressures and the corresponding TE performance were studied in detail. Comparing with other preparation methods, the synthesis time of HPHT was acutely shortened. The obtained samples contain more grain boundaries, lattice disorder, dislocations and the possible “nanodot”, which have positive effect on reducing thermal conductivity. The experimental data indicate that the absolute values of Seebeck coefficient increases with pressure. What’s more, the thermal conductivities show a monotone decreasing trend as the synthesis pressure rises. The minimum value obtained is 1.93[Formula: see text]Wm[Formula: see text]K[Formula: see text] at normal temperature for Co4Sb[Formula: see text]Te[Formula: see text]Se[Formula: see text] prepared under 3[Formula: see text]GPa.

We have investigated the thermoelectric properties of MoO3 monolayer and its defective structures with oxygen vacancies by using first-principles method combined with Boltzmann transport theory. Our results show that the thermoelectric properties of MoO3 monolayer exhibit an anisotropic behavior which is caused by the similar anisotropic phenomenon of electronic conductivity and thermal conductivity. Moreover, the creation of oxygen vacancies proves to be an effective way to enhance the ZT values of MoO3 monolayer which is caused by the sharp peak near the Fermi level in density of states. The increased ZT value can reach 0.84 along x-axis at 300K.

AbstractOxide-based ceramics could be promising thermoelectric materials because of their thermal and chemical stability at high temperature. However, their mediocre electrical conductivity or high thermal conductivity is still a challenge for the use in commercial devices. Here, we report significantly suppressed thermal conductivity in SrTiO3-based thermoelectric ceramics via high-entropy strategy for the first time, and optimized electrical conductivity by defect engineering. In high-entropy (Ca0.2Sr0.2Ba0.2Pb0.2La0.2)TiO3 bulks, the minimum thermal conductivity can be 1.17 W/(m·K) at 923 K, which should be ascribed to the large lattice distortion and the huge mass fluctuation effect. The power factor can reach about 295 μW/(m·K2) by inducing oxygen vacancies. Finally, the ZT value of 0.2 can be realized at 873 K in this bulk sample. This approach proposed a new concept of high entropy into thermoelectric oxides, which could be generalized for designing high-performance thermoelectric oxides with low thermal conductivity.
