英文摘要 | An in-depth understanding of the origin of low lattice thermal conductivity K-lat is considered to be the prerequisite for developing and designing high thermoelectric performance materials. However, the microscopic mechanism of low K-lat for alpha-MgAgSb has not been fully elaborated. Here we first thoroughly unveil the underlying mechanism using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is demonstrated that the unique lattice dynamic properties of alpha-MgAgSb contribute to the low K-lat, including a large number of optical branches, weak chemical bonding, the strong anharmonic coupling between longitudinal acoustic (LA) and longitudinal optical (LO) branches, high anharmonic behavior of LO branch. Nanostructuring has an effect in decreasing the lattice thermal conductivity due to the high density of boundaries and defects. Most importantly, Yb doping on the Mg site is chosen to optimize carrier concentration and simultaneously create strong point-defect phonon scattering. Collectively, a peak ZT similar to 1.4 at 550 K and average ZT similar to 1.2 from 300 K to 550 K have been achieved, which further demonstrates the realistic prospect of MgAgSb based thermoelectric materials for low-temperature waste heat harvesting.
