InTe化合物中In+的孤对电子引发的晶格非谐性振动使得其具有本征极低的热导率, 因此被认为是一种具有潜力的中温热电材料. 然而, 较低的电输运性能使得InTe的热电性能不高. 在本工作中, 采用熔融、退火结合放电等离子活化烧结工艺制备了一系列In1+xTe (x = 0, 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.01)单相多晶样品, 研究了In含量调控对材料电热输运性能的影响规律. 随着温度升高, 载流子散射机制由晶界散射占主导向声学支声子散射转变, 导致材料发生从半导体到金属的转变. 正电子湮没谱和电传输性能测试结果表明, In空位是载流子产生的主要机制, 过量In的加入有效抑制了In空位的产生, 降低了材料的载流子浓度, 提升了材料的Seebeck系数, 使In过量样品在测试温区范围内的功率因子有了大幅度提升, 其中, In1.005Te样品在585 K下取得最大功率因子0.60 mW·m–1·K–2, 比本征InTe样品提高了约40%. 此外In过量样品保持了InTe的本征低热导率, In1.01Te样品在773 K下的总热导率为0.46 W·m–1·K–1. 由于功率因子的提升和低的热导率, In过量样品在整个温度区间范围内的无量纲热电优值ZT得到了大幅度的提高, 其中, In1.003Te样品在750 K下获得最大ZT值为0.71, In1.005Te样品在300-750 K的ZTave为0.39, 较本征InTe样品提升了23%.The inharmonic lattice vibration induced by the lone pair electrons of In+ in the InTe compound produces its intrinsically low thermal conductivity, thus InTe compound shows a great potential serving as an intermediate temperature thermoelectric material. However, its poor electrical transport properties result in an inferior thermoelectric performance. In this study, a series of single-phase In1+xTe (x = 0, 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.01) polycrystalline samples were prepared by a melting-annealing process combined with spark plasma sintering. The influence of In content on the electronic and thermal transport properties for In1+xTe compounds was systematically studied. As the temperature rises, the predominant carrier scattering mechanism changes from grain boundary scattering to acoustic phonon scattering, leading to an unusual semiconductor-to-metal transition in In1+xTe samples. Positron annihilation spectroscopy and electrical transport properties demonstrate that In vacancies are the main source for the charge carrier. Adding extra In effectively suppresses the concentration of In vacancies, reduces the carrier concentration and improves the Seebeck coefficient of In1+xTe samples. The power factor of the In excess samples in the test temperature range is greatly improved in comparison with that of the pristine InTe sample. In1.005Te sample achieves a maximum power factor of 0.60 mW·m–1·K–2 at 585 K, which is approximately 40% higher than the pristine InTe sample. In addition, the In excess sample maintains a thermal conductivity as intrinsically low as the thermal conductivity of pristine InTe, and the total thermal conductivity of the In1.01Te sample at 773 K is 0.46 W·m–1·K–1. Owing to the improvement of the power factor and the low thermal conductivity, the ZT value of the In excess sample is greatly improved in the entire measure temperature range. A maximum ZT value of 0.71 is attained at 750 K for In1.003Te sample, and a maximum
ZTave of 0.39 is achieved for In1.005Te sample in a temperature range of 300–750 K, which is about 23% higher than that of pristine InTe sample. -
