Title: Integrating Band Structure Engineering with All-Scale Hierarchical Structuring for High Thermoelectric Performance in PbTe System

Abstract

PbTe 1− x Se x ‐2%Na‐y%SrTe system is investigated and a high maximum ZT of 2.3 at 923 K for PbTe 0.85 Se 0.15 ‐2%Na‐4%SrTe is reported. This is achieved by performing electronic band structures modifications as well as all‐scale hierarchical structuring and combining the two effects. It is found that high ZTs in PbTe 0.85 Se 0.15 ‐2%Na‐4%SrTe are possible at all temperature from 300 to 873 K with an average ZT ave of 1.23. The high performance in PbTe 1− x Se x ‐2%Na‐y%SrTe can be achieved by either choosing PbTe‐2Na‐4SrTe or PbTe 0.85 Se 0.15 ‐2Na as a matrix. At room temperature the carrier mobility shows negligible variations as SrTe fraction is increased, however the lattice thermal conductivity is significantly reduced from ≈1.1 to ≈0.82 W m −1 K −1 when 5.0% SrTe is added, correspondingly, the lattice thermal conductivity at 923 K decreases from ≈0.59 to ≈0.43 W m− 1 K −1 . The power factor maxima of PbTe 1− x Se x ‐2Na‐4SrTe shift systematically to higher temperature with rising Se fractions due to bands divergence. The maximum power factors reach ≈27, ≈30, ≈31 μW cm −1 K −2 for the x = 0, 0.05,more » and 0.15 samples peak at 473, 573, and 623 K, respectively. The results indicate that ZT can be increased by synergistic integration of band structure engineering and all‐scale hierarchical architectures.« less
