摘要 | SnSe, possessing strong lattice anharmonicity and structural anisotropy, has attracted massive attention in thermoelectric conversion. Herein, we demonstrate that simultaneously optimized electrical and thermal transport properties are achieved in SnS 2 -alloyed SnSe polycrystalline materials, which were fabricated via sintering the mixture of solution-synthesized SnSe microplates and SnS 2 nanoplates. Resulting from the increased carrier concentration, p-type (SnSe) 1-x (SnS 2 ) x ( x = 0.5%, 1%) samples obtain muchimproved power factor between 300 K and 373 K, e.g. 0.72 mW m -1 K -2 at 300 K for (SnSe) 0.99 (SnS 2 ) 0.01 , which is enhanced by 53% compared to that of SnSe. Additionally, the existing point defects and planar defects effectively strengthen phonon scattering, thus reducing the lattice thermal conductivity, for example, 0.47 W m -1 K -1 at 773 K for the x = 0.02 sample. Eventually, a maximum zT of 0.80 at 823 K and an average zT of 0.52 over 300 - 823 K are obtained in the (SnSe) 0.99 (SnS 2 ) 0.01 sample, which are increased by 33% and 45% compared to those of SnSe, respectively. This study demonstrates a secondary phase alloying strategy to synergistically optimize the electrical and thermal properties of polycrystalline SnSe. |
