利用高温高压技术,制备了热电材料PbTe和PbSe的固溶体合金PbTe1-xSex,在室温下对其结构及电学性质进行了研究。X射线衍射(XRD)测试结果表明:PbTe1-xSex具有NaCl结构;晶格常数随着Se含量(x)的增加而减小;PbTe1-xSex的电阻率和Seebeck系数的绝对值随x的增大而减小;功率因子随x的增大先增大而后减小,当x=0.1时功率因子最高,达到21.7 μW/(cm·K2),比相同条件下制备的PbTe高20%。
The n-type thermoelectric materials of PbTe alloyed with PbSe (PbTe1-xSex) were prepared by high-pressure and high-temperature method. The structure and electrical properties of PbTe1-xSex were studied at room temperature. X-ray diffraction results indicated that the PbTe1-xSex sample exhibited the NaCl crystal structure. As the increasing of Se content x, the lattice parameter, Seebeck coefficient and resistivity for PbTe1-xSex all decrease, and the power factor increases first and then decreases. The maximum power factor of 21.7 μW/(cm·K2) was obtained at the x=0.1, which is about 20% higher than that of PbTe.
