摘要:

半赫斯勒(HH)化合物显示出高达1.5的高品质因数。这些高热电效率的关键是内在的相分离,这发生在多组分半赫斯勒化合物中,并导致热导率的显着降低。对于商业应用,兼容的n型和p型材料是必不可少的,并且需要保证它们在工作条件下的热稳定性,例如对于高达873 K的汽车。首次证明了n型和p型HH材料的长期稳定性。研究了Ti_(0. 3)Zr_(0. 35)Hf_(0. 35)Ni_(Sn)体系的HH材料在373 ~ 873 K循环500次(1700 h)后的性能。这两种化合物都表现出最大的塞贝克系数S约210 μ V/K和两个HH相的内在相分离。树枝状微结构是耐温的,并保持低的导热系数值(kappa小于4 W/Km)。我们的研究结果强调,相分离的HH化合物是合适的低成本材料,可以导致提高热电效率超过设定的基准,用于工业应用。

英文摘要:

Half-Heusler (HH) compounds have shown high Figure of merits up to 1.5. The key to these high thermoelectric efficiencies is an intrinsic phase separation, which occurs in multicomponent Half-Heusler compounds and leads to an significantly reduction of the thermal conductivity. For commercial applications, compatible n- and p-type materials are essential and their thermal stability under operating conditions, e.g. for an automotive up to 873 K, needs to be guaranteed. For the first time, the long-term stability of n- and p-type HH materials is proved. We investigated HH materials based on the Ti0.3Zr0.35Hf0.35NiSn-system after 500 cycles (1700 h) from 373 to 873 K. Both compounds exhibit a maximum Seebeck coefficient of S around 210 muV/K and an intrinsic phase separation into two HH phases. The dendritic microstructure is temperature resistant and maintained the low thermal conductivity values (kappa less than 4 W/Km). Our results emphasize that phase-separated HH compounds are suitable low cost materials and can lead to enhanced thermoelectric efficiencies beyond the set benchmark for industrial applications.
