摘要
The thermoelectric properties of Bi0.4Sb1.6Te3-based composites incorporated with beta-Zn4Sb3 nanoparticles are investigated in the temperature range from 300 K to 500 K. The results show that similar to 5% increase in Seebeck coefficient and similar to 32% reduction of lattice thermal conductivity at 443 K are concurrently realized in the nanocomposite system with 1.3 vol% of beta-Zn4Sb3, which originates from energy filtering effect as well as enhanced phonon scattering at dispersed nanoparticles and phase boundaries, respectively. As a result, the largest figure of merit ZT=1.43 is achieved at 443 K for the sample with 1.3 vol% of beta-Zn4Sb3 nanoinclusions, which is similar to 18% larger than that (= 1.21) of the Bi0.4Sb1.6Te3 matrix.
