Title: | Conventional sintered Cu2-xSe thermoelectric material | Authors: | Geng, ZM Shi, DL Shi, L Li, Y Snyder, GJ Lam, KH |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Journal of materiomics, Dec. 2019, v. 5, no. 4, p. 626-633 | Abstract: | As the featured material of the superionic thermoelectric (TE) material family, copper-chalcogenide Cu2-xSe is attracting growing research interest for its excellent TE performance derived from the satisfactory power factor and the ultra-low thermal conductivity induced by the superionic effect. Various efforts have been made and proved to be effective to further enhance the TE performance for Cu2-xSe. However, this material is still far from the application stage, which is mainly due to concerns regarding control of the properties and the costly complex fabrication technology. Here we report a scalable pathway to achieve high-performance and tunable Cu2-xSe, utilizing conventional sintering technology and copper (Cu)-vacancy engineering with an effective mass model. The figure of merit zT is a competitive value of 1.0 at 800 K for the optimized binary Cu2-xSe, based on the precise modeling prediction and Cu-vacancy engineering. The changes in TE properties of Cu2-xSe under heating-cooling cycle tests are also revealed. Our work offers the referable method along with the decent parent material for further enhancement of TE performance, paving a possible route for the application and industrialization of Cu2-xSe TE materials. | Keywords: | Thermoelectric Copper selenide Copper-vacancy engineering Effective mass model |
