摘要
A series of SnTe-AgSbSe2 composites were synthesized by a zone-melting method. The nanostructure of the composites was determined by the high resolution transmission electron microscope. The results show that the lattice thermal conductivity is decreased to similar to 0.6 W/m.K at 820 K due to the intense scattering of phonon. Also, the carrier concentration increases with AgSbSe2 amounts, and a large effective mass of similar to 4m(0) at room temperature appears at a high carrier concentration of similar to 2x10(21)/cm(3). A relatively high thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of 0.92 at 820 K is obtained by composition optimization. It is indicated that the SnTe-AgSbSe2 composite should be a promising thermoelectric material. (C) 2016 The Chinese Ceramic Society. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
