    Research on Thermoelectric Properties of SiGe Alloy Controlled by Al Doping

    • 摘要: SiGe合金是一种拥有巨大潜力的高温区热电材料。在硅锗合金体系中,p型SiGe合金系列热电材料的热电性能相对较低。为了提升p型SiGe合金的热电性能,最有效的手段是通过引入合适的第二相原子进行掺杂。将Al掺杂到Si0.85Ge0.15当中,采取电弧熔炼结合热压制备了Si0.85-xAlxGe0.15x=0,0.015,0.020,0.025,0.030)块体样品,探究了主元素掺杂对材料热电性能的影响。结果表明,Al部分替代Si后,明显提高了载流子浓度,改善了材料的热电性能。其中样品Si0.85-xAlxGe0.15x=0.015)在900 K时,功率因子提升至0.9×10-3W·m-1·K-2,相比于没有掺杂的样品,提高了约8倍。合金样品的热电优值ZT值随着Al的掺杂也均有了一定提升,并且在900 K时,Si0.85-xAlxGe0.15x=0.015)的ZT值提升至最大,为0.18。

       

      Abstract: SiGe alloy is a kind of thermoelectric material with great potential in high temperature region.In the silicon germanium alloy system,the thermoelectric properties of p-type SiGe alloy series thermoelectric materials are relatively low.In order to improve the thermoelectric properties of p-type SiGe alloys,the most effective method is to introduce appropriate second-phase atoms for doping.Al was doped into Si0.85Ge0.15,and the bulk samples Si0.85-xAlxGe0.15x=0,0.015,0.020,0.0250.030) were prepared by arc melting and hot pressing.The effect of main element doping on the thermoelectric properties of the materials was investigated.The results show that the carrier concentration is significantly increased and the thermoelectric properties of the material are improved after the partial substitution of Al for Si.The power factor of Si0.85-xAlxGe0.15x=0.015) increases to 0.9×10-3W·m-1·K-2at 900 K,which is about 8 times higher than that of the undoped sample.The ZT value of the alloy samples also increases with the doping of Al,and the ZT value of Si0.85-xAlxGe0.15x=0.015) is raised to the maximum of 0.18 at 900 K.
