Abstract
- Theoretically, nanosecond phase dispersion is an effective method to optimize the performance of thermoelectric materials due to the energy filtering effect and strong phonon scattering. Because of the chemical stability of La<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, it may be used as a second phase material in Bi<subscript>2</subscript>Te<subscript>2.7</subscript>Se<subscript>0.3</subscript> matrixes. After the introduction of La<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, its electric transport performance decreases slightly, but its thermal transport performance increases further. Finally, its thermoelectric performance is optimized. At 455 K, the maximum dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) value of Bi<subscript>2</subscript>Te<subscript>2.7</subscript>Se<subscript>0.3</subscript> + 0.5 wt% La<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> reaches 0.97. The experimental results demonstrate that La<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> dispersion can improve the thermoelectric properties of Bi<subscript>2</subscript>Te<subscript>2.7</subscript>Se<subscript>0.3</subscript> effectively<subscript>.</subscript> [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
