Enhanced Thermoelectric and Mechanical Properties of p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 Bulk Alloys by Composite Electroless Plating with Ni&Cu

Substituted (P, As, Sb, S and Se) two-dimensional Bi2Te3 monolayer under stress at high temperature: achieving high thermoelectric performance

“…In detail, it can be found that the PF of the p-type material is larger We found some relevant materials for comparison. Dai et al 40 showed that in a Bi 0.5 Sb 1.5 Te 3 bulk sample containing 0.3% Ni and 0.15% Cu, the ZT value significantly increased, with the highest value increasing by more than three times, from 0.35 to 1.16 at 473 K. Zhang et al 17 42 These results are consistent with our calculated results.…”

Zhang et al 17 found that the ZT value of layered (Bi 0.25 Sb 0.75 ) 2 Te 3 material exhibits a strong temperature dependence, with ZT reaching a maximum of 2.2 at a temperature of 800 K. Sang et al 41 achieved a ZT value of 1.86 ± 0.15. Zhu et al investigated the case of Sb-doped Bi 2 Te 3 at 320 K from the perspective of effective scattering phonons.…”
