摘要
The innovation of fabrication method is definitely playing a vital role, not only in tuning various material properties, but in facilitating the future commercial applications. Herein, Mg-2(Si0.3Sn0.7)(1-y)Sb-y solid solutions were synthesized by a new, ultrafast and low-cost self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) method, enabling the large-scale preparation of these materials. The obtained sample exhibits decent thermoelectric performance with a figure of merit, ZT, of above 1.1 and a high average ZT of 0.95. Since SHS method shows the impressive merits of high energy-efficiency, short time-consumption, and the large-scale productivity, this technique should be greatly accentuated for the other potential functional materials.
