ABSTRACTOur efforts to improve the thermoelectric properties of β-K2Bi8Se13, led to systematic studies of solid solutions of the type β-K2Bi8−xSbxSe13. The charge transport properties and thermal conductivities were studied for selected members of the series. Lattice thermal conductivity decreases due to the mass fluctuation generated in the lattice by the mixed occupation of Sb and Bi atoms. Se excess as a dopant was found to increase the figure-of merit of the solid solutions.

AbstractTiNiSn, ZrNiSn and HfNiSn are members of a large group of intermetallic compounds which crystallize in the cubic MgAgAs-type structure. Polycrystalline samples of these compounds have been prepared and investigated for their thermoelectric properties. With thermopowers of about –200 μV/K and resistivities of a few mΩcm, power factors S2/ρ as high as 38 μW/K2 cm were obtained at 700 K. These remarkably high power factors are, however, accompanied by a thermal conductivity which is too high for applications. In order to reduce the parasitic lattice thermal conductivity, solid solutions Zrl−xHfxNiSn, Zrl−xTixNiSn, and Hfl−xTixNiSn were formed. The figure of merit of Zr0.5Hf0.5NiSn at 700 K (ZT = 0.41) exceeds the end members ZrNiSn (ZT = 0.26) and HfNiSn (ZT = 0.22).
