The synthesis of filled skutterudite compounds (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12), through a solidstate reaction using chloride of Ce or Y,high purity powder of Co, Fe, and Sb as starting materials,was investigated. ...The synthesis of filled skutterudite compounds (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12), through a solidstate reaction using chloride of Ce or Y,high purity powder of Co, Fe, and Sb as starting materials,was investigated. (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12) (x=0--1.0, y=0--0.15) compounds were obtained at850--1 123 K. The results of Rietveld analysis demonstrate that (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_12synthesized by a solid state reaction possesses a filled skutterudite structure. The filling fraction ofCe or Y obtained by Rietveld analysis agrees well with the composition obtained by chemicalanalysis. The lattice constant of (Ce)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12) increases with increasing substitution of Fe at Cosites, and with an increasing Ce filling fraction in the Sb-dodecahedron voids. The lattice thermalconductivity of (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12) decreases significantly with an increasing Ce or Y fillingfraction in the voids and with substitution of Fe at Co sites.展开更多
文摘采用熔融法结合放电等离子烧结(SPS)技术合成了P型填充方钴矿化合物Sr_(0.5)Co_(4-x)Fe_xSb_(12),并研究了Fe掺杂对该化合物高温热电性能的影响。采用X-射线衍射(XRD)及电子探针(EPMA)表征了化合物的物相及化学成分,在300～850 K温度范围内测试了化合物的电导率、赛贝克系数和热导率,采用Van de Pauw方法测试了化合物的室温载流子浓度。实验结果表明,化合物的主要相组成为Sr_(0.5)Co_(4-x)Fe_xSb_(12)方钴矿相,同时含有少量FeSb_2和CoSb_2杂质相。化合物的赛贝克系数均为正值,表明为空穴导电。随着Fe掺杂量的增加,化合物的载流子浓度及电导率增加,赛贝克系数降低,晶格热导率降低,最小室温晶格热导率为1.97 Wm^(-1)K^(-2)。对于化合物Sr_(0.52)Co_(2.32)Fe_(1.68)Sb_(12),在850K时获得的最大热电性能指数ZT约为0.60。
