摘要
High lattice thermal conductivity of intrinsic Ge Te limits the wide application of Ge Te-based thermoelectrics. Recently, the optimization of Ge Te-based thermoelectric materials has been focusing on reducing lattice thermal conductivity via strengthening phonon scattering. In this study, we systematically studied thermoelectric properties of Se-alloyed Ge0.95Bi0.05Te via theoretical calculations, structural characterizations, and performance evaluations. Our results indicate that Se-alloying can induce dense point defects with mass/strain-field fluctuations and correspondingly enhance point defect phonon scattering of the Ge0.95Bi0.05Te matrix. Se-alloying might also change chemical bonding strength to introduce resonant states in the base frequency of Ge0.95Bi0.05Te matrix, which can strengthen Umklapp phonon scattering.Finally, a decreased lattice thermal conductivity from ~1.02 W m-1K-1 to ~0.65 W m-1K-1at 723 K is obtained in Ge0.95Bi0.05Te1-xSexpellets with increasing the Se content from 0 to 0.3. A peak figure of merit of ~1.6 at 723 K is achieved in Ge0.95Bi0.05Te0.7 Se0.3 pellet, which is ~77% higher than that of pristine Ge Te. This study extends the understanding on the thermoelectric performance of Ge Te.
