摘要
The thermal duration test of CoSb3 thermoelectric material was studied from 600 degrees C to 750 degrees C in vacuum. The present work showed that the sublimation of antimony in CoSb3 material obeyed a parabolic law. Effective activation energy for the sublimation of antimony in CoSb3 was estimated to be 44.5 kJ/mol. SEM results showed that the grain-boundary crack appeared in the initial period of test and the crack gradually evolved into the micro-void after thermal duration test. During the thermal duration period, the surface of CoSb3 became degraded seriously and some bubbles of gasified antimony appeared on the samples. After thermal duration test of 16 days at 750 degrees C, thermoelectric performance of CoSb3 declined obviously and ZT value decreased from 0.24 to 0.16 at 327 degrees C. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
