摘要：
A rapid solidification and spark plasma sintering technique was applied to fabricate Bi-Sb-Te bulk thermoelectric materials. Although the grain boundaries in sintered samples were primarily composed of large-angle boundaries, a large fraction of small-angle boundaries was found at a high sintering temperature. As the sintering temperature increased, the Seebeck coefficient was almost unchanged while the electrical resistivity gradually decreased. The thermal conductivity gently increased till 420 degrees C, and then abruptly increased. As a result, the largestZTvalue of 1.1 was achieved for the sample sintered at 400 degrees C, which is increased by 44.7% compared with that prepared from mechanically alloyed powders.
