Improved Thermoelectric Properties of N-Type Mg3Sb2 through Cation-Site Doping with Gd or Ho

Jiawei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigates Gd and Ho as n-type dopants for Mg3Sb2 thermoelectric materials, finding them to exhibit higher doping efficiency and superior carrier concentration compared to Te. Codoping with Te leads to reduced thermal conductivity and enhanced power factor values at high temperatures, resulting in peak zT values well above unity at 725 K.

Enhanced atomic ordering leads to high thermoelectric performance in AgSbTe2

Subhajit Roychowdhury et al.

Summary: By optimizing atomic disorder and cadmium doping in polycrystalline silver antimony telluride, high thermoelectric performance with near room-temperature figure of merit ZT of around 1.5 and maximum ZT of around 2.6 at 573 kelvin is achieved. This strategy of enhancing cationic ordering while reducing lattice thermal conductivity is applicable to most thermoelectric materials with inherent atomic disorder.

Nb-Mediated Grain Growth and Grain-Boundary Engineering in Mg3Sb2-Based Thermoelectric Materials

Ting Luo et al.

Summary: The study found that Nb does not enter the Mg3Sb2 matrix but forms a wetting layer along the grain boundary, modifying the interfacial energy and accelerating grain growth. Modeling suggests that the grain boundary resistivity appears to be reduced by Nb-enrichment. This study confirms grain boundary scattering in Mg3Sb2 and reveals the potential role of metallic additives in enhancing grain growth and reducing grain boundary resistivity.
