摘要

SnTe is a promising Pb-free thermoelectric (TE) material with high electrical conductivity. We discovered the synergistic effect of Bi₂O₃ on enhancing the average power factor (PF) and overall ZT value of the SnTe-based thermoelectric material. The introduction of Bi₂O₃ forms plenty of SnO₂, Bi₂O_3, and Bi-rich nanoprecipitates. These interfaces between the SnTe matrix and the nanoprecipitates can enhance the average PF through the energy filtering effect. On the other hand, abundant and diverse nanoprecipitates can significantly diminish the lattice thermal conductivity (κ_lat) through enhanced phonon scattering. The synergistic effect of Bi₂O₃ resulted in a maximum ZT (ZT_max) value of 0.9 at SnTe-2% Bi₂O₃ and an average ZT (ZT_ave) value of 0.4 for SnTe-4% Bi₂O₃ from 300 K to 823 K. The work provides an excellent reference to develop non-toxic high-performance TE materials.
