摘要
P-type pseudo-binary Bi-Sb-Te alloys with Ga substitution for Sb in raw mixtures were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique, results show that a proper Ga substitution for Sb can improve the thermoelectric performance near room temperature. With molar fraction x increasing from 0 to 0.1 in the GaxBi0.5Sb1.5-xTe3 alloys, a ratio sigma/kappa can be enhanced from 23,178 to 34,807 K V-2 at 318 K, without noticeable loss of Seebeck coefficients. The maximum ZT value of 0.65 (+/- 0.16) is achieved, being approximate 0. 11 higher than that of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
