By applying the melt-centrifugation, porosity and dislocations are introduced in the microstructure of the n-type Zintl phase Mg3+xSb1.5Bi0.49Te0.01leading to significantly low κl (∼ 0.33 W m−1 K−1 at 723 K) and enhanced zT (∼ 1.64 at 723 K).

AbstractThe Zintl thermoelectric phase Eu2ZnSb2 has a remarkable combination of high mobility and low thermal conductivity that leads to good thermoelectric performance. The key feature of this compound is a crystal structure that has a Zn-site with a 50% occupancy. Here we use comparison of experimental thermal conductivity measurements and first principles thermal conductivity calculations to characterize the thermal conductivity reduction. We find that partial ordering, characterized by local order, but Zn-site disorder on longer scales, leads to an intrinsic nanostructuring induced reduction in thermal conductivity, while retaining electron mobility. This provides a direction for identifying Zintl compounds with ultralow lattice thermal conductivity and good electrical conductivity.

Pb substitution on anionic site of Mg3Sb2 structure enhances the power factor and simultaneously reduces the thermal conductivity which leads to a ZT ≈ 0.84 at 773 K for Mg3Sb1.8Pb0.2 alloy. The enhanced ZT of this system is comparable to bismuth telluride and selenide industrial materials which are toxic and expensive.
