Description

Quasi-one-dimensional nano-structure thermoelectric material, device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of thermoelectric materials, in particular to a quasi-one-dimensional nano-structure thermoelectric material, a quasi-one-dimensional nano-structure thermoelectric device and a preparation method of the quasi-one-dimensional nano-structure thermoelectric material.
Background
Thermoelectric materials and devices are materials and devices capable of converting heat and energy, and electricity and heat directly, and it has been a central task in this field to increase thermoelectric material conversion efficiency, namely to determine the increase in the dimensionless performance index ZT value of the conversion efficiency (zt=a2σt/k, where a is the Seebeck coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity, k is the thermal conductivity, and T is the absolute temperature, where thermal conductivity includes both the electronic thermal conductivity and the lattice thermal conductivity). The higher the ZT value, the better the material properties and the higher the energy conversion efficiency. However, the ZT value of the thermoelectric material is difficult to increase due to the correlation among a, σ and k, and the ZT value of the practical thermoelectric material is only about 1.
Existing theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated that nanostructures are an effective means of improving thermoelectric material conversion performance. The thermoelectric material with the nano structure can greatly reduce the thermal conductivity (lattice thermal conductivity) by scattering phonons more than electrons through a large number of interfaces in the thermoelectric material, and has little or no influence on the electrical conductivity, so that the ZT value is improved. At present, various thermoelectric materials with nano structures, such as thermoelectric materials doped with nano particles, such as nanowires, nano films, nano multi-layer films and the like, optimize the figure of merit of the materials. Therefore, the difference of scattering wavelengths of phonons and electrons is utilized, and the doping and low-dimension means are used for reducing the thermal conductivity of the material, so that a higher ZT value is obtained, and the method is an important point of research in the field of thermoelectric materials at present. In addition, from the application point of view, the low-dimensional thermoelectric material can realize local spot-cooling (spot-cooling), and if the low-dimensional thermoelectric material and the device to be cooled are integrated together through a semiconductor process, the refrigeration of a single transistor or other elements can be realized, the refrigeration efficiency is improved, the refrigeration power consumption is reduced, and the running speed of the device is improved. Therefore, in recent years, research on the mechanism, material preparation and device aspects of low-dimensional thermoelectric materials has become a hot spot for the development of thermoelectric materials, and the development is rapid.
In its review, m.s. dreschauls et al mentions nanoparticle doped nanocomposites that can reduce thermal conductivity by scattering phonons at interfaces, and increase seebeck coefficient by quantum confinement effect, thereby achieving an increase in ZT value.
A quasi-one-dimensional nano-structure thermoelectric material and a device disclosed in Chinese patent application with publication number of CN101969095A and a preparation method thereof. The thermoelectric material comprises an insulating substrate, at least two thermoelectric material layers and at least two phonon scattering layers; the surface of the insulating substrate is fully distributed with parallel nano grooves which are periodically arranged, and the cross section of each groove presents a rectangular undulating structure; the thermoelectric material layer covers the surface of the substrate, and the cross section of the thermoelectric material layer presents a rectangular undulating periodic structure; the phonon scattering layer covers the surface of the thermoelectric material layer, and the cross section presents a rectangular undulating periodic structure; the thermoelectric material layers and the phonon-scattering layers are alternately covered in a rectangular undulating periodic structure.
According to the quasi-one-dimensional nano-structure thermoelectric material, the device and the preparation method thereof disclosed by the prior art, the thermal conductivity of the material can be reduced, and the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the material is improved; the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the prepared device is high; however, in the technical scheme, the connection mode adopted between the thermoelectric material layer and the insulating substrate is alternately covered by the rectangular undulating periodic structure, the adhesion force between the thermoelectric material layer and the insulating substrate is lower, and when the thermoelectric material layer and the insulating substrate are used in an environment with high vibration frequency, the thermoelectric material layer and the insulating substrate are easily separated, so that the thermoelectric device is damaged, the use environment of the thermoelectric device is greatly limited, and the large-scale popularization and application of the thermoelectric device are not facilitated.
