Unique surface structure resulting in the excellent long-term thermal stability of Fe4Sb12-based filled skutterudites

Jian Yu et al.

Summary: The study showed that BaFe4Sb12 materials exhibit excellent long-term thermal stability due to the unique decomposition layer formed during annealing. The decomposition rate decreases with increasing annealing time, resulting in a protective cover that effectively prevents Sb sublimation. The thermoelectric properties, including the figure of merit, remain stable during the annealing process.
