摘要：

This study focuses on Sb-doped Mg-2(Si,Sn) thermoelectric material. Samples were successfully fabricated using a hybrid synthesis method consisting of three different processes: induction melting, solid-state reaction, and a hot-press sintering technique. We found that the carrier concentration increased with Sb content, while the Seebeck coefficient exhibited a decreasing trend. Sb doping was shown to improve the power factor and thermoelectric figure of merit compared with the undoped material, yielding a peak figure of merit (ZT) of similar to 0.55 at 620 K, while leaving the band gap of Mg2Si0.7Sn0.3 almost unchanged.
