Thermoelectric Power Factor

The thermoelectric properties of Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 ceramics, reduced in various conditions, were investigated in the temperature range from 323K to 1073K. Both the electrical resistivity and the absolute Seebeck coefficient decreased with the deepening degree of oxygen-reduction. However, the decrease of the electrical resistivity had a major influence on the thermoelectric power factor. Therefore, the more heavily reduced sample can gain the higher value of thermoelectric power factor. It has been observed that the thermal conductivity increased with the deepening degree of oxygen-reduction, which indicates that the scattering of the oxygen vacancies produced by reduction does not play a dominant role in the thermal conduction. In spite of the increase of the thermal conductivity, the oxygen-reduction still promoted the thermoelectric figure of merit via the increase of the thermoelectric power factor. And the most heavily reduced Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 ceramic has the highest thermoelectric figure of merit (~0.18 at 1073 K) among all the samples.

ABSTRACTThermoelectric phenomena strongly influence the behavior of chalcogenide materials in nanoelectronic devices including phase-change memory cells. This paper presents the annealing temperature and phase dependent thermoelectric properties of Ge2Sb2Te5 films including the thermoelectric power factor and the figure of merit. The Ge2Sb2Te5 films annealed at different temperatures contain varying fractions of the amorphous and crystalline phases which strongly influence the thermoelectric properties. The thermoelectric power factor increases fom 3.2 μW/mK2 to 65 μW/mK2as the crystal phase changes from face-centered cubic to hexagonal close-packed. The data are consistent with modeling based on effective medium theory and suggest that careful consideration of phase purity is needed to improve the figures of merit for phase change memories and potentially for thermoelectric energy conversion applications.

Popular Approach

The addition of inorganic materials with high thermoelectric properties is a popular approach to modulate the performance of carbon nanotube (CNT), but, the representative hybridization of CNT and toxic Te or Bi is not practical considering safety. Here, we report a CNT film including charge-transfer complex nanoparticles, which has higher generality and thermoelectric properties. Interestingly, the CNT film containing 30 wt% Tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) nanoparticle exhibited a higher in-plane thermoelectric power factor (44.3 μW m-1 K-2) than the pure CNT (10.1 μW m-1 K-2), which is the first result of a nanostructured charge-transfer complex acting as a carrier promoter.
