热电堆电池温差发电与热电制冷是基于 Seebeck (赛贝克)效应, Peltier (珀尔帖)效应。 这一理论指出: 优良的热电材料本身, 应具有高的 Seebeck 系数 α (其值为《 = ^ , 其单位 V/°C )、 低的热导率 、 高的电导率 σ, 这三 dT  Thermopile battery temperature difference power generation and thermoelectric cooling are based on the Seebeck effect, the Peltier effect. This theory states: The excellent thermoelectric material itself should have a high Seebeck coefficient α (the value is " = ^ , its unit V / ° C ), low thermal conductivity, high conductivity σ, these three dT
参数关联起来: τ— ^。 式中 ζ称为材料的热电优值系数。 因为不同的热电 κ The parameters are related: τ — ^. In the formula, it is called the thermoelectric figure of merit of the material. Because of different thermoelectric κ
材料都有各自的适宜工作温度范围, ***均温度)。 当今提升热电材料本身 Ζ值的方法一般有两种: 一是提高其功率因子 ( α 2 σ ) , 二是降低其热传导系数 ( 。 Materials have their own suitable operating temperature range. It is customary to use the dimensionless quantity of thermoelectric figure of merit and temperature to describe the thermoelectric properties of the material (Γ is the average temperature of the material). There are generally two ways to increase the enthalpy of thermoelectric materials themselves: one is to increase their power factor (α 2 σ ) and the other is to reduce their heat transfer coefficient ( .
影响功率因子的物理机制包括散射参数、 能态密度、 载流子迁移度及费 米能级等四项。 而传统结构的热电堆在前三项是材料的本质性质无法改变。 所以传统结构的热电堆, 只能依靠选择更好更纯的热电材料来改进。 而实际 上能控制热电材料本身功率因子的物理量, 可以通过本发明的方法, 加入热 电堆内部一个调控电场, 提高能态密度、 载流子迁移度, 降低散射参数, 以 及通过改变半导体掺杂浓度来调整费米能级, 以达到最大的 值。  The physical mechanisms affecting the power factor include scattering parameters, energy density, carrier mobility, and Fermi level. In the first three terms of the traditional structure of the thermopile, the essential properties of the material cannot be changed. Therefore, the conventional structure of the thermopile can only be improved by selecting a better and more pure thermoelectric material. In fact, the physical quantity of the thermoelectric material itself can be controlled by the method of the invention, and a regulated electric field inside the thermopile can be added to increase the energy density, carrier mobility, reduce the scattering parameter, and change the semiconductor doping concentration. To adjust the Fermi level to reach the maximum value.
固体材料热传导系数( 包括了晶格热传导系数( KL )及电子热传导系数 Thermal conductivity of solid materials (including lattice heat transfer coefficient (K L ) and electron heat transfer coefficient

Most of the thermal conduction of thermoelectric materials is conducted through the crystal lattice. The lattice heat transfer coefficient (^) is proportional to the three basic physical quantities of the thermoelectric material's constant volume specific heat (C), sound velocity, and mean free path. The first two physical quantities are the essence of the thermoelectric material and cannot be changed, while the mean free path is related to the material. The amount of impurities or grain boundaries changes. So today, for thermoelectric materials, when there is no good way to improve the power factor, they focus on the study of nanostructures and the low-dimensional structural features of nanowires. And the hollow quantum effect is expected to fully limit the phonon conduction and reduce the thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric material to improve the thermoelectric figure of merit Z of the material.
为了提高多晶材料光伏电池与热电堆电池转换效率, 所使用的半导体材 料, 应是落在元素周期表的金属与非金属转换线两侧的元素的化合物对。 最 常用的元素为: 硅(Si )、锗(Ge )、铋(Bi )、锑(Sb )、碲(Te )、 硒(Se ) , 以及半赫斯勒合金(half-Heusler )、 方钴矿、 金属氧化物等。  In order to improve the conversion efficiency of polycrystalline photovoltaic cells and thermopile cells, the semiconductor material used should be a compound pair of elements falling on both sides of the metal and non-metal conversion lines of the periodic table.
