Enhanced Thermoelectric Performance of Bi2O2Se with Ag Addition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polycrystalline Bi2O2Se/Ag nanocomposites were synthesized by spark plasma sintering process. Their thermoelectric properties were evaluated from 300 to 673 K. With the addition of silver, the conductive second phase Ag2Se and Ag can be observed, which results in a significant enhancement of electrical conductivity. The maximum conductivity is 691.8 S cm−1 for Bi2O2Se/20 vol.% Ag, which increased nearly 500 higher times than the pure Bi2O2Se bulk. ZT value can be enhanced greatly, ~0.07, for Bi2O2Se/5 vol.% Ag at 673 K, which is two times larger than the pure sample.

Load Frequency Control Based on Improved Fuzzy Controller in the Microgrid with Thermoelectric Generator
The Microgrid is a small-scale controlled power system, which can be used in islanded mode or in a grid-connected one to provide power. In the islanded Microgrid, the system frequency will be affected severely by the smallest disturbance which can happen due to light inertia in the system. In the independent Microgrid, several generation sources such as solar, wind, and so on can be considered....
متن کاملEffect of C and N Addition on Thermoelectric Properties of TiNiSn Half-Heusler Compounds
We investigated the thermoelectric properties of the ternary half-Heusler compound, TiNiSn, when introducing C and N. The addition of C or N to TiNiSn leads to an enhanced power factor and a decreasing lattice thermal conductivity by point defect phonon scattering. The thermoelectric performances of TiNiSn alloys are significantly improved by adding 1 at. % TiN, TiC, and figure of merit (ZT) va...
متن کاملCoefficient of Performance Optimization of a Single Stage Thermoelectric Cooler
In thermoelectric coolers (TECs) applied external voltage potential is generated to a temperature difference based on the Peltier effect. Main and basic structure of TECs is in the form of single stage device. Due to the low efficiency, especially low coefficient of performance (COP) of thermoelectric coolers, optimal design of geometrical parameters of such devices is vital. For this purpose, ...
متن کاملIntrinsically High Thermoelectric Performance in AgInSe2 n‐Type Diamond‐Like Compounds
Diamond-like compounds are a promising class of thermoelectric materials, very suitable for real applications. However, almost all high-performance diamond-like thermoelectric materials are p-type semiconductors. The lack of high-performance n-type diamond-like thermoelectric materials greatly restricts the fabrication of diamond-like material-based modules and their real applications. In this ...

The intermetallic compounds formed during the diffusion soldering of a Bi2Te2.55Se0.45 thermoelectric material with a Cu electrode are investigated. For this bonding process, Bi2Te2.55Se0.45 was pre-coated with a 1 μm Sn thin film on the thermoelectric element and pre-heated at 250 ̋C for 3 min before being electroplated with a Ni barrier layer and a Ag reaction layer. The pre-treated thermoele...
