摘要：
A detailed investigation of the influence of different Ni/Zn-ratios on the thermoelectric behavior of the quinary clathrate-I Ba8NixZnyGe46-x-y-zSnz is provided. All samples crystallize in the clathrate-I structure type (space group Pm (3) over barn) and exhibit n-type electrical conductivity. Varying the Ni-content, the band gap can be tuned in a wide range and hence the maximum in the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, can be shifted in a large temperature range from 530 to 830 K. The highest ZT-value of 0.9 at 830 K was observed for the Ni-poor composition Ba8Ni0.22Zn7.22Ge37.12Sn1.44. (C) 2013 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
