Enhancement of Thermoelectric Performance in CuSbSe2 Nanoplate–Based Pellets by Texture Engineering and Carrier Concentration Optimization
Abstract
Abstract This work reports the thermoelectric properties of the CuSbSe 2 ‐ x mol% PtTe 2 ( x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0) pellets composed of highly oriented single crystalline nanoplates. CuSbSe 2 ‐PtTe 2 single crystalline nanoplates are prepared by a wet‐chemical process, and the pellets are prepared through a bottom‐up self‐assembly of the CuSbSe 2 ‐PtTe 2 nanoplates and spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. X‐ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopic analyses show a highly textured nature with an orientation factor of ≈0.8 for (00l) facets along the primary surface of the pellets (in‐plane, perpendicular to the SPS pressure). By this way, bulk‐single‐crystal‐like electrical and thermal transport properties with a strong anisotropy are obtained, which results in an effective optimization on thermoelectric performance. The maximum in‐plane thermoelectric figure‐of‐merit ZT value reaches 0.50 at 673 K for CuSbSe 2 ‐2.0 mol% PtTe 2 pellet, which is about five times higher than the in‐plane ZT (0.10) for pure CuSbSe 2 .
