摘要
Bi85Sb15-x Pb (x) (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3) alloys have been prepared by the mechanical alloying-spark plasma sintering (MA-SPS) method. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the microstructure of the alloys. The effect of Pb content on the thermoelectric properties was investigated in the temperature range 77-300 K. The results showed that the electrical transport properties of the Bi-Sb alloys changed from n-type to p-type with substitution of Sb by Pb. The maximum power factor reached 1.6 x 10(-3) W/mK(2) at 190 K, a significant improvement on values reported elsewhere. This study demonstrated that high-performance p-type thermoelectric Bi-Sb materials can be obtained by spark plasma sintering.
