Description

Flexible silver selenide-based thermoelectric thin film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of flexible thermoelectric materials and preparation thereof, and particularly relates to a flexible silver selenide-based thermoelectric thin film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasing demand of modern society for energy, traditional energy sources such as fossil energy are gradually exhausted, and the development and utilization of green and efficient novel clean energy becomes a preferred way for establishing an energy-saving society.
The thermoelectric material is a functional material which realizes the interconversion between thermal energy and electric energy by utilizing the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect of a semiconductor material. Because of the advantages of small volume, no noise, no pollution, long service life, high reliability and the like, the thermoelectric material is taken as an environment-friendly material and is widely concerned at home and abroad.
The performance of the thermoelectric material mainly depends on the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of the material, and the expression is as follows: ZT ═ S 2 σ T/κ, where S is the Seebeck coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity, κ is the thermal conductivity, and T is the absolute temperature. The larger the ZT value of the material is, the higher the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is, and the better the thermoelectric performance is.
Preparation of wearable electronic equipment based on flexible thermoelectric material is more and more in the thermoelectric material research fieldThe more popular. In recent years, research progress of flexible thermoelectric materials has been mainly focused on organic thermoelectric materials. The organic thermoelectric film mainly comprises conductive polymers, is high in flexibility and easy to obtain raw materials, but has a lower ZT value, and the development of the materials is greatly limited. The inorganic thermoelectric film has great advantages in thermoelectric performance, namely higher ZT value, but deficient content of most of the components, like the current commercialized Bi 2 Te 3 Although the ZT value is high, the component element Te is rare, the cost is high and the toxicity is high.
The silver selenide is low in cost, non-toxic and environment-friendly, is a phase-change material, can change phase from a low temperature to a high temperature at 407K, and is relatively widely used at the high temperature. Silver selenide in the low-temperature phase is a narrow-band-gap semiconductor, the band gap of the semiconductor is 0.07eV at 0K, and the thermal conductivity of the semiconductor is low. The low-temperature phase silver selenide has an orthogonal structure, belongs to the semiconductor characteristic, has higher conductivity and Seebeck coefficient, and gradually becomes a new favorite in inorganic thermoelectric thin film materials. The methods for preparing silver selenide thermoelectric thin films reported at present are various, but have certain limitations, for example, Chinese patent CN 109293962A discloses a method for preparing Ag with high thermoelectric property 2 The method for preparing the Se/nylon flexible composite film is characterized in that uniform silver selenide nanowires are synthesized in a wet chemical mode at room temperature, and the silver selenide film with certain flexibility is obtained by taking a flexible nylon filter membrane as a substrate and adopting a suction filtration and hot pressing mode. However, due to the low density (relative density of 70%) of the film and the obvious preferred orientation of the silver selenide crystal grains in the (00l) direction, the thermoelectric performance and the bulk silver selenide performance of the film still have certain gaps. Furthermore, Perez-Taborda et al deposited silver selenide thin films on glass substrates by the pulsed hybrid reactive magnetron sputtering method, by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of Ag/Se to 2, the power factor was as high as 2440 + -192 μ W/(mK) 2 ) (Jaime Andres Perez-Taborda et al. high thermal zT in n-type silver selective films at room temperature, adv. energy Mater.2018,8,1702024). Although the method can accurately control the stoichiometric ratio of the thin film and has the advantages of industrial friendliness and the like and is receiving more and more attention, the method is an instrumentThe cost is high, and large-scale application is difficult to realize. The Mallick group prepares the high-performance Ag-Se-based thermoelectric film at room temperature by a screen printing method, the ZT value of the Ag-Se-based thermoelectric film has further breakthrough, and the ZT value reaches 1.03 at room temperature (Md Mofasser Mallick et al, New front in printed thermoelectrics: formation of beta-Ag 2 Se through thermal stimulated discrete absorption leads to high ZT, Journal of Materials Chemistry A,2020,8,16366), but the film prepared by the method has rough surface, uneven slurry dispersion, more holes in the film caused by the heat treatment sintering process and low density. Therefore, the development of a preparation method of the high-performance silver selenide-based film with controllable cost and easy batch production has important significance.
