A high-performance Ag/Ag2Se thermoelectric film has been successfully fabricated using a novel method. The film exhibits high power factor, electrical conductivity, flexibility, and stability. This study provides an important breakthrough for the fabrication of high-performance flexible thermoelectric films.
Herein, we fabricate a high-performance Ag/Ag2Se thermoelectric (TE) film by a novel method. Firstly, Ag/Ag2Se nano-dendritic composite powders were synthesized by a microwave-assisted synthesis method, then the powders were vacuum filtrated on nylon filter membrane followed by hot-pressing. Through optimization of Ag: Se ratios, a maximum power factor of 2436 & PLUSMN; 240 mu W m(-1) K-2 at room temperature has been acquired. It is one of the best values reported for n-type flexible TE films to date. The high TE performance can be ascribed to the synergy effect between Ag and Ag2Se. Besides, the composite film also shows good flexibility: 94% and 87% of the electrical conductivity are maintained, respectively, when it is subjected to a compressive force and a tensile force after 1000 bending cycles along an 8-mm diameter rod. Meanwhile, the film also shows good stability in air and good moisture resistance. A 6-leg flexible TE generator assembled with the optimized film shows a low internal resistance of -5 & UOmega;, mainly owing to high electrical conductivity of -3030 & PLUSMN; 132 S cm(-1) of the film. It outputs a voltage and a maximum power of 16.1 mV and 6.08 mu W (corresponding power density of -13.56 W m(-2)), respectively, at a temperature gradient of 29.6 K. This work provides a great path for the fabrication of exceptional high-performance n-type flexible TE films, which will certainly promote the practical applications of TE films.
