Enhanced thermoelectric properties of n-type NbCoSn half-Heusler by improving phase purity

Journal Article He, Ran ; Huang, Lihong ; Wang, Yumei ; ... - APL Materials

In this paper, we report the thermoelectric properties of NbCoSn-based n-type half-Heuslers (HHs) that were obtained through arc melting, ball milling, and hot pressing process. With 10% Sb substitution at the Sn site, we obtained enhanced n-type properties with a maximum power factor reaching ~35 μW cm^-1 K^-2 and figure of merit (ZT) value ~0.6 in NbCoSn_0.9Sb_0.1. The ZT is doubled compared to the previous report. In addition, the specific power cost ($ W^-1) is decreased by ~68% comparing to HfNiSn-based n-type HH because of the elimination of Hf.

Electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of half-Heusler compounds with eight electron valence count—KScX (X = C and Ge)

Journal Article Ciftci, Yasemin O. ; Mahanti, Subhendra D. - Journal of Applied Physics

Electronic band structure and structural properties of two representative half-Heusler (HH) compounds with 8 electron valence count (VC), KScC and KScGe, have been studied using first principles methods within density functional theory and generalized gradient approximation. These systems differ from the well studied class of HH compounds like ZrNiSn and ZrCoSb which have VC = 18 because of the absence of d electrons of the transition metal atoms Ni and Co. Electronic transport properties such as Seebeck coefficient (S), electrical conductivity (σ), electronic thermal conductivity (κ{sub e}) (the latter two scaled by electronic relaxation time), and the power factor (S{sup 2}σ) havemore »« less

Temperature Dependent n-Type Self Doping in Nominally 19-Electron Half-Heusler Thermoelectric Materials

Journal Article Anand, Shashwat ; Xia, Kaiyang ; Zhu, Tiejun ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract The discovery of a semiconducting ground state X _y YZ ( y = 0.8 or 0.75) in nominally 19‐electron half‐Heusler materials warrants a closer look at their apparently metallic properties that often make them good thermoelectric (TE) materials. By systematically investigating the temperature dependence of off‐stoichiometry ( x ) in V _0.8+ _x CoSb, Nb _0.8+ _x CoSb, and Ti _0.75+ _x NiSb it is found that x invariably increases with increasing temperature, leading to an n‐type self‐doping behavior. In addition, there is also a large phase width (range of x ) associated with each phase that is temperaturemore »« less

By systematically investigating the temperature dependence of off-stoichiometry (x) in V_0.8+xCoSb, Nb_0.8+xCoSb, and Ti_0.75+xNiSb it is found that x invariably increases with increasing temperature, leading to an n-type self-doping behavior. In addition, there is also a large phase width (range of x) associated with each phase that is temperature dependent. Thus, unlike in typical 18-electron half-Heuslers (e,g, TiNiSn), the temperature dependence of vacancy and carriermore »« less
