摘要: CuInTe2的弱电导率和相对高的晶格热导率导致其较低的热电优值(ZT值)和转换效率,从而阻碍了其在热电领域的商业化应用。本工作通过固态反应和热压烧结法制备了一系列Al掺杂的CuIn1 - xAlxTe2化合物并研究了Al掺杂量对微观结构和热电性能的影响。结果表明,Al掺杂明显增大了载流子浓度,从而提升了电性能。同时,Al掺杂引入了取代型点缺陷、位错、应变波动和CuInAl4Te8纳米析出相,抑制了声子运输从而实现晶格热导率的下降。最终,在823 K时,CuIn0.8Al0.2Te2达到最小晶格热导率,为0.72 W/(m×K),同时达到ZT值峰值(0.88),比基体提升了115%。CuIn0.8Al0.2Te2在323~823 K和523~823 K间的平均ZT值分别为0.34和0.6,比基体增加了2倍。CuIn1 - xAlxTe2化合物ZT值和平均ZT值的明显提升表明了CuInTe2的In位掺杂的有效性。

Abstract:CuInTe2, can be regarded as two cubic ZnTe stacked on top of each other, with Cu and In atoms alternately replaced Zn atoms to form a crystal structure with short-range disorder and long-rang order. This gives it a lower thermal conductivity than ZnTe, making it a promising P-type thermoelectric material. The weak electrical conductivity and relatively high inherent lattice thermal conductivity of CuInTe2 induce the low ZT and conversion efficiency of harvesting waste heat, and thus hinder commercial application in thermoelectricity field. A series of Al-doped CuInTe2 compounds were prepared successfully by solid reaction, annealing, and spark plasma sintering techniques and the influence of aluminum doping on the structure and thermoelectric performance was systematically explored through multiple advanced characterization methods. Al doping remarkably improves electrical transport performance by modulating carrier concentration and mobility, remarkably regulates electrical transport performance. Meanwhile, Al doping induces the substituted point-defects, dislocation, strain fluctuation and nano precipitations of CuInAl4Te8 as extra barriers, inhibiting the phonon transport and thus achieving the reduction of ?L so that minimum lattice thermal conductivity of 0.72 W?m-1?K-1 at 823 K are obtained for x=0.2 sample. Eventually, an optimized ZT value of 0.88 is achieved for CuIn0.8Al0.2Te2 at 823 K with an enhancement of 115%. And ZTavg (323-823 K) value of 0.34 and ZTavg (523-823K) value of 0.6 are obtained, respectively, with about double enhancement, compared to that of pristine CuInTe2. This work proves the effective utilization of doping at In sites of CuInTe2 and advance the development of the chalcopyrite thermoelectric materials with diamond-like structure.
