preparation example Construction

[0043] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned composite thermoelectric material crystal ingot, comprising:

[0044] Will Cu 2 Te and Bi 2 Te 3 Placed in the melting temperature zone of the heating device to make Bi 2 Te 3 melts and makes Cu 2 Te dissolves in Bi 2 Te 3 in the melt;

[0045] Then the dissolved Cu 2 Bi of Te 2 Te 3 The melt moves from the melting temperature zone to the solidification temperature zone of the heating device to solidify the melt into an ingot.

[0046] The above method makes the melt solidify in the direction opposite to the heat flow (that is, the direction from the solidification temperature zone to the melting temperature zone) as the solidification direction, located at Bi 2 Te 3 The copper-rich phase between (Cu) sheets is formed during the solidification process. The copper in the liquid phase mainly diffuses in a short distance perpendicular to the growth direction, and the diff...

Abstract

The invention discloses a composite thermoelectric material crystal ingot and a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of material engineering. The composite thermoelectric material crystal ingot is formed by alternately overlapping Bi2Te3(Cu) and a copper-rich phase, the Bi2Te3(Cu) is a solid solution formed by dissolving Cu in Bi2Te3, and the Bi2Te3(Cu) is in a sheet shape and is arranged in parallel. The preparation method of the composite thermoelectric material crystal ingot comprises the following steps: placing Cu2Te and Bi2Te3 in a melting temperature zone of a heating device so that Cu2Te and Bi2Te3 are melted and mutually dissolved; and then moving to a solidification temperature zone to solidify the melt into crystal ingots. The composite thermoelectric material crystal ingot is good in component uniformity and good in performance uniformity. According to the preparation method, the component uniformity of the crystal ingot in the solidification direction is good, the performance is uniform, the utilization rate is high, large-size crystal ingots can be conveniently prepared, and the production efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material engineering, in particular to a crystal ingot of a composite thermoelectric material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Properly doped bismuth telluride has excellent thermoelectric properties near room temperature, and has been widely used in semiconductor refrigeration devices. The zone smelting method and the directional solidification method are two commonly used methods to prepare bismuth telluride materials. The essence of the two methods is to gradually solidify from one end to the other. Due to the influence of segregation, the impurity elements in the solidified ingot are along The distribution of solidification direction is not uniform, which affects the performance of the ingot. In actual production, in order to ensure the consistency of material performance, the head and tail of the ingot have to be removed, and sometimes the amount of rem...
