摘要
Bi2Te3-based compounds are the well-manufactured thermoelectric materials working near room temperature, however, less promising to be used in the low-temperature power generation due to the early onset of the intrinsic excitation. In this work, we used manganese (Mn) to substitute antimony (Sb) in the lattice of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 to dramatically increase the electrical conductivity and higher temperature Seebeck coefficient and decrease the bipolar thermal conductivity, leading to enhancement in both maximum ZT similar to 1.3 at 430 K and average ZT above 1.1 at the temperature range from 300 K to 573 K, which is vital to obtain high conversion efficiency for low-temperature power generation.
