High-performance in n-type PbTe-based thermoelectric materials achieved by synergistically dynamic doping and energy filtering

Hang-Tian Liu et al.

Summary: By introducing Ag2Te and dynamically doping silver into n-type Pb0.975Cr0.025Te, a peak figure of merit of 1.5 at 773K was achieved. The high value is attributed to the synergistic optimization of carrier and phonon transports. Ag2Te nanoprecipitates establish coherent interfaces with the matrix to induce energy-dependent carrier scattering and maintain relatively high carrier mobility, leading to optimal electrical-transport properties over a wide temperature range.

Summary: Dual isovalent doping of bismuth chalcogenides shows a synergistic effect of reducing thermal conductivity and controlling electron density, leading to enhanced thermoelectric performance. Large atoms inserted in the crystal lattice contribute to phonon scattering and drastically reduce thermal conductivity, compensating for the low power factor and improving TE performance. The dual dopants of indium and antimony improve the density of states near the Fermi level and reduce the conduction band minimum, enhancing electron density and acoustic phonon scattering to further reduce thermal conductivity.
