摘要
SnS由低毒、廉价、高丰度的元素组成,在热电研究领域受到广泛关注。采用机械合金化(MA)结合放电等离子烧结(SPS)工艺制备了n型SnS_(1-x)Cl_x(x=0,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05,0.06)多晶块体热电样品,并研究了Cl~-掺杂量对SnS物相、微观结构以及电热输运性能的影响。结果表明:Cl~-的引入会提高电子浓度,使SnS由本征p型转变为n型半导体。随着Cl~-掺杂量的增加,n型SnS半导体室温下的霍尔载流子浓度从6.31×10~(14) cm~(-3)(x=0.03)增加到7.27×10~(15 )cm~(-3)(x=0.06)。x=0.05样品在823 K取得最大的电导率为408 S·m~(-1),同时具有较高的泽贝克系数为-553μV?K~(-1),使其获得最大功率因子为1.2μW·cm~(-1)·K~(-2)。Cl~-的掺入会引入点缺陷,散射声子,使晶格热导率κ_(lat)由0.67 W·m~(-1)·K~(-1)(x=0)降至0.5 W·m~(-1)·K~(-1)(x=0.02)。x=0.04样品在823 K获得了最大ZT为0.17,相比于x=0样品(ZT~0.1)提高了70%。
SnS composed of low toxicity,low-cost and earth-abundant elements,has extensive attention in the field of thermoelectric research.The n-type SnS_(1-x)Cl_x(x=0,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05,0.06)polycrystalline bulk thermoelectric samples were prepared by mechanical alloying(MA)combined with Spark Plasma Sintering(SPS).Effect of Clamounts on the phase structure,microstructure and thermoelectric transport properties were systematically studied.Results show that introduction of Cl~-enhances electron concentration which makes intrinsic p-type SnS change to n-type.With the amount of Cl~-increasing,the Hall carrier concentration of n-type SnS semiconductor increases from6.31×10~(14) cm~(-3)(x=0.03)to 7.27×10~(15) cm~(-3)(x=0.06)at room temperature.The maximum electrical conductivity of 408 S?m~(-1)and the relatively high Seebeck coefficient of-553μV?K~(-1) are obtained at 823 K for x=0.05 sample,which produces the maximum power factor of 1.2μW·cm~(-1)·K~(-2).Addition of Cl~-can introduce point defects to scatter phonons,which makes the lattice thermal conductivity reduce from 0.67 W·m~(-1)·K~(-1)(x=0)to 0.5 W·m~(-1)·K~(-1)(x=0.02).The highest ZT~0.17 is obtained at 823 K for x=0.04 sample,which is 70%higher than that(ZT~0.1)of the pristine SnS.
