摘要
Mg2Si1-x Sn (x) -system solid solutions are ecofriendly semiconductors that are promising materials for thermoelectric generators in the middle temperature range. To produce a thermoelectric device, high-performance p- and n-type materials must be balanced. In this paper, p-type Mg2.00Si0.25Sn0.75 with Li and Ag double doping was prepared by the liquid-solid reaction method and hot-pressing. Effects of Li and Ag double doping on thermoelectric properties were investigated in the temperature range from room temperature to 850 K. All sintered compacts were identified as single-phase solid solutions with anti-fluorite structure. The carrier concentration increased with the double doping. The temperature dependence of resistivity of the double-doped samples was similar to that of a metal. The seebeck coefficient increased with temperature to a maximum value and then decreased in the intrinsic region. Thermal conductivity decreased linearly with increasing temperature, reaching a minimum near the intrinsic region, and then increased rapidly because of the contribution of the bipolar component. The dimensionless figure of merit reached 0.32 at 610 K for Mg2.00Si0.25Sn0.75 double-doped with Li-5000 ppm and Ag-20000 ppm.
