摘要
In the present work, we report on the investigation of low-temperature (300-5 K) thermoelectric properties of hot-pressed TiSe2 a charge-density-wave (CDW) material. We demonstrate that, with increasing hot-pressing temperature, the density of TiSe2 increases and becomes nonstoichiometric owing to the loss of selenium. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transimission electron microscopy results show that the material consists of a layered microstructure with several defects. Increasing the hotpress temperature in nonstoichiometric TiSe, leads to a reduction of the resistivity and enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient in concomitent with suppression of CDW. Samples hot-pressed at 850 degrees C exhibited a minimum thermal conductivity (kappa) of 1.5 W/m.K at 300 K that, in turn, resulted in a figure-of-merit (ZT) value of 0.14. This value is higher by 6 orders of magnitude compared to 1.49 X 10(-7) obtained for cold-pressed samples annealed at 850 degrees C. The enhancement of ZT in hot-pressed samples is attributed to (i) a reduced thermal conductivity owing to enhanced phonon scattering and (ii) improved power factor (alpha(2)sigma).
