Over the past decade the widely used p-type ( Bi 2-x Sb x) Te 3 bulk thermoelectric materials have been subject to various nanostructuring processes for higher thermoelectric performance. However, these nanostructuring processing were conducted on compositions optimized for bulk materials (x ~ 1.52–1.55). This leads to the question of whether the optimal composition for bulk materials is the same for their nanoscale counterparts. In this work we hydrothermally grew Bi 2-x Sb x Te 3 nanopowders (nominally, x = 1.46, 1.48, 1.52 and 1.55) and measured their thermoelectric properties on cold-pressed vacuum-sintered pellets (74–78% of the theoretical density) below 300 K. The measurements were conducted 18 months apart to probe the aging phenomena, with the samples stored in ambient conditions. We have found that (i) the peak of thermopower shifts to lower temperatures upon nanostructuring but it shifts back to higher temperatures upon aging; (ii) the electrical conductivity degrades by a factor of 1.5–2.3 upon aging while the temperature dependence is largely retained; and (iii) the ZT of freshly made samples is sensitive to the x value, a maximum ZT ~ 1.25(~ 0.62) at ~ 270 K (~ 255 K) was attained in the freshly made sample x = 1.55(x = 1.46), respectively; while the ZT of aged samples is significantly lowered by a factor of 2–4 but lesser x-dependent. These observations have been discussed in the context of charge buildup and compensation at grain boundaries.

This contribution deals with the mechanochemical synthesis, characterization, and thermoelectric properties of tetrahedrite-based materials, Cu12-xMxSb4S13 (M = Fe2+, Zn2+, Cd2+; x = 0, 1.5, 2). High-energy mechanical milling allows obtaining pristine and substituted tetrahedrites, after short milling under ambient conditions, of stoichiometric mixtures of the corresponding commercially available binary sulfides, i.e., Cu2S, CuS, Sb2S3, and MS (M = Fe2+, Zn2+, Cd2+). All the target materials but those containing Cd were obtained as single-phase products; some admixture of a hydrated cadmium sulfate was also identified by XRD as a by-product when synthesizing Cu10Cd2Sb4S13. The as-obtained products were thermally stable when firing in argon up to a temperature of 350–400 °C. Overall, the substitution of Cu(II) by Fe(II), Zn(II), or Cd(II) reduces tetrahedrites’ thermal and electrical conductivities but increases the Seebeck coefficient. Unfortunately, the values of the thermoelectric figure of merit obtained in this study are in general lower than those found in the literature for similar samples obtained by other powder processing methods; slight compositional changes, undetected secondary phases, and/or deficient sintering might account for some of these discrepancies.
