The invention discloses A-site high-entropy
perovskite oxide MeTiO3 thermoelectric
ceramic and a preparation method thereof. The A-site high-entropy
perovskite oxide MeTiO3 has a single-phase
perovskite structure, the elements in the A-site high-entropy perovskite
oxide MeTiO3 are uniformly distributed without agglomeration, and the A-site high-entropy perovskite oxide MeTiO3 has thermoelectric performance and can be used in the field of
thermoelectric materials. The
chemical composition of the A-bit high-entropy perovskite oxide MeTiO3 is (Ca < 0.2 > Sr < 0.2 > Ba < 0.2 > La < 0.2 > Pb < 0.2 >) TiO3, (Ca < 0.25 > Sr < 0.25 > Ba < 0.25 > La < 0.25 >) TiO3, (Ca < 0.25 > Sr < 0.25 > Ba < 0.25 > Pb < 0.25 >) TiO3, (Ca < 0.25 > Sr < 0.25 > Ba < 0.25 > Nd < 0.25 >) TiO3, (Ca < 0.25 > Sr < 0.25 > Ba < 0.25 > Sm < 0.25 >) TiO3, and (Ca < 0.25 > Sr < 0.25 > Ba < 0.25 > Eu < 0.25 >) TiO3. According to the invention, the high entropy of the
perovskite structure is realized, the disorder degree of atom arrangement in the material composition is improved, the
phonon scattering is increased, and the
thermal conductivity is reduced, so that the thermoelectric performance is improved. In the
sintering process,
oxygen atoms are migrated and discharged through
oxygen vacancies in material
crystal lattices, the
porosity is reduced, the
ceramic density is improved, meanwhile, the
oxygen vacancy concentration is improved, and the carrier concentration of the material is improved. By adopting a reduction annealing process of
argon and carbon
powder, the
semiconduction of perovskite oxide is realized, the carrier concentration of the
ceramic is improved, the
conductivity is improved, and the thermoelectric performance is further improved.
