Evaluation of Cu-Ni-Based Alloys for Thermoelectric Energy Conversion
Materials Science Forum(2021)
摘要
The recent revitalization of Ioffe plots (entropy conductivity versus electrical conductivity) reminds us that Isotan (Cu55Ni44Mn1) is an outstanding thermoelectric material with a power factor of up to 60 W cm-1 K-2 at a specific electrical conductivity of almost 20,000 S cm-1 at elevated temperature. Even though, Isotan is widely used in thermoelements for temperature measurement, its high open-circuited thermal conductivity of approximately 70 W cm-1 K-2 [1] hindered further research as a promising thermoelectric material. Isotan was chosen as a starting composition. Influence of partial substitution of Cu and Ni with heavy elements (Sn,W) on the thermoelectric properties was studied. The alloys were fabricated by arc-melting and microstructurally characterized for grain size and elemental composition by scanning electron microscope (SEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDXS). Lattice symmetry and parameters were estimated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Functional properties as Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and power factor were used to evaluate the thermoelectric performance.
