In this study, Se and Te co-doped CoSb3 bulk materials were fabricated using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and pulse-plasma sintering techniques, which resulted in high chemical homogeneity and improved thermoelectric properties. The simultaneous doping and filling of voids in the skutterudite structure led to an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity and a dimensionless figure of merit of 1.1 at 723 K. These findings highlight the potential importance of the combined self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and pulse-plasma sintering techniques in the fabrication of chemically homogeneous and efficient thermoelectric materials.
Traditional ways to obtain homogeneous and efficient skutterudite-based thermoelectric materials usually require long processing time. In this study thermoelectric properties of Se and Te co-doped CoSb3 bulk materials fabricated using a combination of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and pulse-plasma sintering techniques were investigated. The proposed short-term fabrication route enabled synthesis of thermoelectric materials with high chemical homogeneity. Moreover, simultaneous doping with Se and Te beneficially influenced the electrical and thermal transport properties of the materials. As a result, an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of 0.86 W m(-1) K-1 has been attained while simultaneously doping and filling the voids in the skutterudite structure. The ultralow lattice thermal conductivity could be attributed to the unique lattice dynamics, enhanced point-defect, and electron-phonon scattering. Owing to these synergetic effects, a dimensionless figure of merit of 1.1 was obtained at 723 K. The findings show that combination of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and pulse-plasma sintering techniques allow to fabricate chemically homogeneous and efficient thermoelectric materials as well as offer numerous advantages, such as time, energy efficiency, and potential scalability, to carry out large-scale production.
