ABSTRACTPolycrystalline alkaline-earth hexaborides (MB6: M =Ca, Sr, Ba) were synthesized and their thermoelectric and transport properties were examined to discuss their possibility as high temperature thermoelectric materials. Hall measurements showed that carrier concentration of the BaB6 was the highest among the three hexaborides and that of CaB6 was the lowest. Substitution of part of the alkaline earth metals with one of the others changed the carrier concentration of the hexaboride. As the carrier concentration increased, Seebeck coefficient increased and electrical conductivity decreased. These results suggest that the thermoelectric properties of the divalent hexaborides depend largely on the carrier concentration, and optimum carrier concentration which gives maximum power factor was estimated to be approximately 2x1026 m−3. Consequently, such a substitution enables us to control Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of the hexaborides, and will also be effective to reduce the lattice heat conduction due to the alloying effect. A thermoelectric device was fabricated using SrB6 and boron carbide thin films as n-type and p-type elements, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a thermoelectric device composed of only boron-rich solids.

ABSTRACTBoron carbides are refractory solids with potential for application as very high temperature p-type thermoelectrics in power conversion applications. The thermoelectric properties of boron carbides are unconventional. In particular, the electrical conductivity is consistent with the thermally activated hopping of a high density (≈ 1021/cm3) of bipolarons; the Seebeck coefficient is anomalously large and increases with increasing temperature; and the thermal conductivity is surprisingly low. In this paper, these unusual properties and their relationship to the unusual structure and bonding present in boron carbides are reviewed. Finally, the potential for utilization of boron carbides at very high temperatures (up to 2200°C) and for preparing n-type materials is discussed.

AbstractThe Ag1-x(Pb1-ySny)mSb1-zTem+2 compounds have been found to exhibit high performance p-type thermoelectric properties and are now being considered for practical applications. In this paper, various m values and silver concentrations were investigated to determine the effect on thermoelectric properties. Also, the charge-compensated compounds were studied in order to eliminate the problem of excess tellurium evaporation at high temperature.

ABSTRACTSolid solution series of the type K2Bi8-xSbxSe13, K2-xRbxBi8Se13 as well as K2Bi8Se13-xSx were prepared and the distribution of the atoms (Bi/Sb, K/Rb and Se/S) on different crystallographic sites, the band gaps and their thermoelectric properties were studied. The distribution Se/S appears to be more uniform than the distribution of the Sb and Rb atoms in the β-K2Bi8Se13 structure that shows preference in specific sites in the lattice. Band gap is mainly affected by Sb and S substitution. Seebeck coefficient measurements showed n-type character for of all Se/S members. In the Bi/Sb series an enhancement of p-type character was observed. The thermoelectric performance as well as preliminary high temperature measurements suggest the potential of these materials for high temperature applications.
