Popis: | n-type Mg2Si1-xSbx compounds were prepared within a short duration by using high pressure synthesis followed by spark plasma sintering. The structural and compositional characterizations indicated highly densified single-phase products with no obvious oxidation or volatilization of Mg. High pressure synthesized samples showed greatly enhanced thermoelectric performance compared with ambient-pressure synthesized ones. For the optimal Mg2Si0.985Sb0.015, the power factor reached 3300 μWm−1K−2 at 773 K meanwhile the lattice thermal conductivity was suppressed to 1.0 Wm−1K−1 at temperatures higher than 700 K. As a result, the highest ZT of 0.94 was achieved at 873 K. High pressure synthesis thus provides us an alternative and effective pathway to synthesize magnesium silicide based thermoelectric materials. |
