Problems solved by technology

However, this technology uses molten strips to obtain nano-bismuth telluride powder, and the production process is complicated and the output is low.
In addition, the equipment required for spark plasma sintering is very expensive (for example, a spark plasma sintering furnace with a current of 10,000A costs more than RMB 1 million), and the size of the sintered material is small (the diameter is generally less than 20mm). Difficult to meet the needs of industrial development
"A high-pressure preparation method for bismuth-tellurium alloy series thermoelectric materials" (CN1768986A) patented technology, using hot pressing technology to obtain bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric materials, but the heating method of hot pressing sintering is to heat the entire furnace cavity, through heat Radiation and convective heat transfer heat up the powder material, the heating rate is slow, there is a temperature gradient in the material, the performance of the sintered body is uneven, the energy utilization rate is low, and the production cost is increased
In addition, hot pressing sintering has no activation effect on the powder and cannot effectively reduce the sintering temperature

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nanocrystalline thermoelectric materials. In particular, it relates to a preparation method of a bismuth telluride-based bulk nanocrystal thermoelectric material. Background technique [0002] With the aggravation of energy crisis and environmental pollution, thermoelectric materials, as a new type of energy conversion materials, have received widespread attention from various countries. Thermoelectric materials can realize the direct conversion of thermal energy and electrical energy, and use their Seebeck effect and Peltier effect, which can be applied to thermoelectric power generation and refrigeration. At present, the main reasons restricting the large-scale application of thermoelectric materials are the low thermoelectric conversion efficiency of materials and high production costs. The thermoelectric conversion efficiency of a material mainly depends on the size of its dimensionless thermoelectr...
