摘要:

热电(TE)材料可应用于废热收集或高效定向冷却等场景。目前人们已开发出多种通过降低晶格热导率来制备高性能热电材料的策略,但提升功率因子的方法仍亟待探索。本研究中,我们报道了kagome金属Ni₃In₁₋ₓSnₓ在室温下可实现高达5 mW m⁻¹ K⁻²的大功率因子。据预测,该体系的费米能级E_F附近电子结构中存在几乎无色散的平带,以及高色散的类狄拉克带[L. Ye等人,Nature Physics 1-5 (2024)]。本研究通过实验与理论结合证明,通过化学掺杂x将该平带精确调控至E_F下方,可提高塞贝克系数与功率因子,因为高迁移率的载流子会散射进入平带态。本工作展示了在kagome金属中向费米能级附近构建极平且高色散能带的前景,并提出拓扑平带可作为热电材料的新型调控手段。

英文摘要:

Thermoelectric (TE) materials are useful for applications such as waste heat harvesting or efficient and targeted cooling. While various strategies towards superior thermoelectrics through a reduction of the lattice thermal conductivity have been developed, a path to enhance the power factor is pressing. Here, we report large power factors up to 5 mW m$^{-1}$ K$^{-2}$ at room temperature in the kagome metal Ni$_3$In$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$. This system is predicted to feature almost dispersionless flat bands in conjunction with highly dispersive Dirac-like bands in its electronic structure around the Fermi energy $E_\text{F}$ [L. Ye et al., Nature Physics 1-5 (2024)]. Within this study, we experimentally and theoretically showcase that tuning this flat band precisely below $E_\text{F}$ by chemical doping $x$ boosts the Seebeck coefficient and power factor, as highly mobile charge carriers scatter into the flat-band states. Our work demonstrates the prospect of engineering extremely flat and highly dispersive bands towards the Fermi energy in kagome metals and introduces topological flat bands as a novel tuning knob for thermoelectrics.
