英文摘要 | SnTe is an emerging Pb-free thermoelectric compound that has drawn significant attention for clean energy conversion. Chemical doping is routinely used to tailor its charge carrier concentration and electronic band structures. However, the efficacy of dopants is often limited by their small solubility. For example, only 0.5% Ag can be incorporated into the SnTe matrix. Yet, significantly more Ag (>7%) can be dissolved if SnTe is alloyed with AgSbTe2. This large enhancement of solubility can be understood from a chemical bonding perspective. Both SnTe and AgSbTe2 employ metavalent bonding as identified by an unusual bond-rupture in atom probe tomography. Density functional theory calculations show that upon Ag doping the energy offset of the upmost two valence bands decreases significantly. This induces band alignment in SnTe, which results in an enhanced power factor over a broad temperature range. Moreover, the increased concentration of point defects and associated lattice strain lead to strong phonon scattering and softening, contributing to an extremely low kappa(L) of 0.30 Wm(-1)K(-1). These synergistic effects contribute to a peak ZT of 1.8 at 873 K and a record-high average ZT of approximate to 1.0 between 400 and 873 K in Sn0.87Mn0.08Sb0.08Te-5%AgSbTe2 alloy. |
