Highly dense pore structure was generated by simple sequential routes using NaCl and PVA as porogens in conventional PbTe thermoelectric materials, and the effect of pores on thermal transport properties was investigated. Compared with the pristine PbTe, the lattice thermal conductivity values of pore-generated PbTe polycrystalline bulks were significantly reduced due to the enhanced phonon scattering by mismatched phonon modes in the presence of pores (200 nm–2 μm) in the PbTe matrix. We obtained extremely low lattice thermal conductivity (~0.56 W m−1 K−1at 773 K) in pore-embedded PbTe bulk after sonication for the elimination of NaCl residue.

ABSTRACTIn the search for new thermoelectric materials, quasicrystals have been investigated due to their inherently low thermal conductivity. Crystalline phases called approximants which are closely related to the quasicrystals, however, have largely been ignored. These approximants have similar structure, yet the periodicity of a crystal. In this paper, we have investigated an icosahedral i-AlCuFe quasicrystalline phase as well as two of its corresponding approximant phases (ω and β). Electrical and thermal transport properties of these materials are presented. The viability of the i-AlCuFe quasicrystalline system and the ω and β approximant phases as thermoelectric materials is discussed.
