    Abstract Filling the voids of cage forming compounds with loosely bound electropositive elements and by incorporating nano-sized secondary phases are promising approaches to enhance the thermoelectric figure of merit of these materials. Hence, in this work, by combining these two approaches-inserting In into the voids of skutterudite Co4Sb12 as well as dispersing nanoparticles (GaSb)-we have synthesized various samples via ball-milling and spark plasma sintering. InSb as the secondary phase of the matrix, mixed with GaSb, forms the solid solution Ga1-xInxSb. Nanocrystalline grains together with a few larger grains (10-30 μm) are found to be spread in In0.2Co4Sb12. The former is comprised of either InSb, GaSb or Ga1-xInxSb. Because of their identical space group and similar lattice parameters, InSb, GaSb and Ga1-xInxSb could not be detected separately in EBSD. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was used to resolve different phases, which showed GaSb grains of size ∼10-30 nm and InSb grains of size ∼30-100 nm. Scattering of charge carriers at the interfaces of InSb, GaSb and Ga1-xInxSb as well as the matrix phases increased both the electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient. The multi-scale size distribution of grains, of both the matrix phase and the secondary phases, scattered phonons within a broad wavelength range, resulting in very low lattice thermal conductivities. As a result, an enhanced figure of merit of 1.4 was achieved for the (GaSb)0.1 + In0.2Co4Sb12 nanocomposite at 773 K.

    Abstract Cu2Te is a superionic conductor that belongs to the Phonon Liquid Electron Crystal class of thermoelectric (TE) materials. Despite the simple chemical formula, the crystal structures and phases in the Cu2Te system have not been understood properly. In this work, we study the structural and TE properties of Cu2Te (CT2), Cu1.6Te (CT1.6) and Cu1.25Te (CT1.25). The samples were synthesized via a solid-state reaction method. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the samples have different crystal structures depending upon the Cu : Te stoichiometry. The elemental compositional analysis showed that all the samples are copper deficient. This is due to the precipitation of metallic copper on the surface of the ingot arising from the thermal dissociation of Cu2Te. The transport properties were measured in the temperature range 300 K-600 K. The electrical conductivity (σ) decreases with an increase in temperature indicating a metal-like behaviour for all the samples. The positive Seebeck coefficients (S) for all the samples indicates that majority charge carriers are holes. The sample CT2 has a higher S (29.5 μV K-1 at 573 K) and a lower σ (2513 S cm-1 at 573 K) due to a lower carrier (hole) concentration compared to the other two samples. With the increase in Cu deficiency, the hole concentration increases, and this leads to higher electronic thermal conductivity in the samples CT1.6 and CT1.25. The maximum thermoelectric figure of merit of 0.03 at 524 K is achieved for the sample CT2 owing to its higher power factor (0.24 mW m-1 K-2) and lower thermal conductivity (3.8 W m-1 K-1). The present study bridges the gap between the theoretical predictions and experimental observations involving the various possible structures in this system. Furthermore, we have shown that the Cu vacancies are detrimental to the thermoelectric performance of Cu2Te.

    Abstract The present study reports the effect of Sn substitution on the structural and thermoelectric properties of synthetic tetrahedrite (Cu12Sb4S13) system. The samples were prepared with the intended compositions of Cu12Sb4–xSnxS13 (x = 0.25, 0.35, 0.5, 1) and sintered using spark plasma sintering. A detailed structural characterization of the samples revealed tetrahedrite phase as the main phase with Sn substituting at both Cu and Sb sites instead of only Sb site. The theoretical calculations using density functional theory revealed that Sn at Cu(1) 12d or Cu(2) 12e site moves the Fermi level (EF) toward the band gap, whereas Sn at Sb 8c site introduces hybridized hole states near EF. Consequently, a relatively high optimum power factor of 1.3 mW/mK2 was achieved by the x = 0.35 sample. The Sn-substituted samples exhibited a significant decrease in the total thermal conductivity (κT) compared to the pristine composition (Cu12Sb4S13), primarily because of reduced electronic thermal conductivity. Due to an optimum power factor (1.3 mW/mK2) and reduced thermal conductivity (0.9 W/mK), a maximum zT of 0.96 at 673 K was achieved for x = 0.35 sample, which is nearly 40% increment compared to that of the pristine (Cu12Sb4S13) sample.

    Abstract The influence of Zn and Se double substitution on the electronic and thermoelectric properties of tetrahedrite was investigated in this study. The samples Cu11Zn1Sb4S13-xSex (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 2) were prepared via solid state synthesis followed by field assisted sintering. The density functional theory (DFT) results showed that Se substitution introduces additional bands near the Fermi level (EF), with lower effective mass compared to Zn (only) substituted sample Cu11Zn1Sb4S13. Consequently, the electrical resistivity decreased with the increase in Se content which is attributed to the enhanced charge carrier mobility caused by the more dispersive Se states as indicated by DFT results. But the Seebeck coefficient was invariant with x, due to the enhancement of the density of states (DOS) at EF. The overall effect was an increase in power factor of the Cu11Zn1Sb4S13-xSex samples compared to Cu11Zn1Sb4S13. The Zn2+ substitution at the Cu1+ tetrahedral site resulted in a decrease of the carrier thermal conductivity due to the decrease in charge carrier concentration. Whereas Se substitution resulted in the decrease of lattice thermal conductivity due to additional phonon scattering caused by the S-Se mass difference. Simultaneous optimization of the power factor and thermal conductivity could thus be achieved via double substitution at Cu and S sites. A maximum thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) of 0.86 at 673 K was exhibited by the Cu11Zn1Sb4S12.75Se0.25 sample due to its relatively high power factor among the samples (0.9 mW m-1 K-2 at 673 K) coupled with very low total thermal conductivity (0.67 W m-1 K-1 at 673 K).
