摘要 | In this study, the thermoelectric properties for polycrystalline In4-x Ce (x) Pb0.01Se3 (x = 0.03, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1) compounds are investigated. Theoretical and experimental study reveal that the Ce/Pb co-doping at the In sites is an effective way to simultaneously decrease the thermal conductivity and increase the electric conductivity (Ahn et al. in Appl Phys Lett 99:102, 2011). As a heavy atom, Ce can effectively scatter phonons which reduces the thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, the Pb atom serving as electron donor provides additional electrons in the doped compounds. Therefore, the reduced thermal conductivity along with the boosted power factor give rise to an improvement of the dimensionless figure-of-merit, ZT, of over 65% in In4-x Ce (x) Pb0.01Se3 (x = 0.06) compounds as compared with pure In4Se3. |
