Enhancement of Thermoelectric Performance of n-Type PbSe by Cr Doping with Optimized Carrier Concentration

Journal Article Zhang, Qian ; Chere, Eyob Kebede ; McEnaney, Kenneth ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Ti, V, Cr, Nb, and Mo are found to be effective at increasing the Seebeck coefficient and power factor of n-type PbSe at temperatures below 600 K. It is found that the higher Seebeck coefficients and power factors are due to higher Hall mobility ≈1000 cm² V^-1s^-1 at lower carrier concentration. A larger average ZT value (relevant for applications) can be obtained by an optimization of carrier concentration to ≈10¹⁸-10¹⁹ cm^-3. Even though the highest room temperature power factor ≈3.3 × 10^-3 W m^-1 K^-2 is found in 1 at% Mo-doped PbSe, the highest ZT is achieved in Cr-doped PbSe.more »« less

Potential for high thermoelectric performance in n-type Zintl compounds: A case study of Ba doped KAlSb₄

Journal Article Ortiz, Brenden R. ; Gorai, Prashun ; Krishna, Lakshmi ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry. A

High-throughput calculations (first-principles density functional theory and semi-empirical transport models) have the potential to guide the discovery of new thermoelectric materials. Herein we have computationally assessed the potential for thermoelectric performance of 145 complex Zintl pnictides. Of the 145 Zintl compounds assessed, 17% show promising n-type transport properties, compared with only 6% showing promising p-type transport. We predict that n-type Zintl compounds should exhibit high mobility μ_n while maintaining the low thermal conductivity κ_L typical of Zintl phases. Thus, not only do candidate n-type Zintls outnumber their p-type counterparts, but they may also exhibit improved thermoelectric performance. From the computationalmore »« less

Tuning the carrier scattering mechanism to effectively improve the thermoelectric properties

Journal Article Shuai, Jing ; Mao, Jun ; Song, Shaowei ; ... - Energy & Environmental Science

A high thermoelectric power factor not only enables a potentially high figure of meritZTbut also leads to a large output power density, and hence it is pivotal to find an effective route to improve the power factor.

The effect of Sn doping on thermoelectric performance of n-type half-Heusler NbCoSb

Journal Article Huang, Lihong ; Zhang, Qinyong ; Wang, Yumei ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)

Herein, Sn was successfully doped into the Sb site of n-type NbCoSb half-Heusler compounds to tune the carrier concentration, and a maximumZTvalue of ~0.56 was obtained at 973 K for NbCoSb_1-xSn_xwithx= 0.2, an increase of ~40% as compared to that of NbCoSb.
