Flexible Ag2Se NW/PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite films with different Ag2Se contents (10, 20, 30, 50, 70, and 80 wt.%) are fabricated. The Ag2Se nanowires are first fabricated with solution mixing. After that, Ag2Se NW/PEDOT:PSS composite film was fabricated using a simple drop-casting method. To evaluate the potential applications of the Ag2Se NW/PEDOT:PSS composite, their thermoelectric properties are analyzed according to their Ag2Se contents, and strategies for maximizing the thermoelectric power factor are discussed. The maximum room-temperature power factor of composite film (178.59 μW/m·K2) is obtained with 80 wt.% Ag2Se nanowires. In addition, the composite film shows outstanding durability after 1000 repeat bending cycles. This work provides an important strategy for the fabrication of high-performance flexible thermoelectric composite films, which can be extended to other inorganic/organic composites and will certainly promote their development and thermoelectric applications.

ABSTRACTWe report the electrical resistivity and the Seebeck coefficient of AZn13(A = Sr, Ba, and La) and LaCo13measured over a wide temperature range and their thermal conductivity measured at room temperature. The electrical measurements of AZn13and LaCo13above room temperature reveal that the compounds show good metallic behavior. We find that the absolute value of Seebeck coefficient for AZn13(A = Sr, Ba, and La) increases with increasing temperature, which is a typical metallic behavior and the absolute value is less than 3μVK−1at room temperature. Accordingly, the power factor of AZn13is quite low. Temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficient for LaCo13is similar to that of Co. The absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient for LaCo13is high as a metallic conductor and approaches -30μVK−1at 500K, which leads LaCo13to large power factor of 1.8 × 10−3Wm−1K−2. We obtained lattice components of the thermal conductivity by subtracting electronic contributions from the total thermal conductivity. The electronic components of the thermal conductivity were estimated using Wiedemann-Frantz law assumingL(Lorentz number) is 2.45 × 10−8V2K−2. The thermal conductivities of the lattice components for AZn13(A = Sr, Ba, and La) and LaCo13with NaZn13type structure are about 10 Wm−1K−1, respectively. These values are high as compared with other thermoelectric materials.

AbstractPolycrystalline ingots of the lanthanide based ternary intermetallics: LaNiSb, GdNiSb, ErNiSb and ErPdSb were prepared and characterized. The thermoelectric properties of ErNiSb and ErPdSb were measured at high temperatures. We succeeded in preparing the single phase ingots of ErNiSb and ErPdSb, while the ingots of LaNiSb and GdNiSb contain appreciable quantities of the impurity phases. ErNiSb and ErPdSb crystallize the MgAgAs-type structure (half-Heusler structure). ErNiSb and ErPdSb indicate positive values of the Seebeck coefficient. The values at room temperature are 36 and 240 micro VK-1 for ErNiSb and ErPdSb, respectively. The electrical resistivity of ErNiSb and ErPdSb decreases with temperature, indicating semiconductor-like behavior. ErPdSb exhibits a relatively large power factor 1.5x10-3 Wm-1K-2 at around 700 K, which is approximately two times larger than that of ErNiSb.

ABSTRACTThe thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT = α2σT/λ, has been measured for pentatelluride single crystals of HfTe5, ZrTe5, as well as Se substituted pentatellurides. The parent materials, HfTe5 and ZrTe5, exhibit relatively large p- and n- type thermopower, |a| > 125 μV/K, and low resistivity, ρ ≤ 1 mΩ•cm. These values lead to a large power factor (α2σT) which is substantially increased with proper Se substitution on the Te sites. The thermal conductivity of these needle-like crystals has also been measured as a function of temperature from 10 K ≤ T ≤ 300 K. The room temperature figure of merit for these materials varies from ZT “0.1 for the parent materials to ZT ≈ 0.25 for Se substituted samples. These results as well as experimental procedures will be presented and discussed.
