Changes in seebeck coefficient of Pt and Pt 10% Rh after use to 1700°C in High-purity polycrystalline alumina

A technique is presented that enables the effects of temperature on the Seebeck coefficient to be assessed for individual wires. The technique, involving a high-resolution thermoelectric scanning rig and a nonuniform conditioning furnace of known temperature profile, was applied to 0.5-mm-diameter wires of Pt and Pt 10% Rh. Changes were observed in Seebeck coefficient when these wires were used in high-purity twin-bore insulation for up to 200 h at temperatures over the range 500 to 1700°C. Contamination from the insulation was found to be transmitted by a vaporization process, having an activation energy of 3 eV. This caused changes of up to 0.14 V · °C^–1 in Pt and 0.01 V · °C^–1 in Pt 10% Rh. Rhodium transfer to the pure Pt wire changed its Seebeck coefficient by up to 5 V · °C^–1. The consequences of both processes for thermocouple pyrometry are presented.     

Properties of Co-doped N-type FeSi2 processed by mechanical alloying

Iron-silicide was produced with a mechanical alloying process and consolidated through vacuum hot pressing. The as-milled powders were of metastable state and fully transformed into the ß-FeSi₂ phase through subsequent isothermal annealing. The as-consolidated iron silicides consisted of an untransformed mixture of α-Fe₂Si₅ and ?-FeSi phases and a partially transformed β-FeSi₂ phase was found in the low density compact. Isothermal annealing was carried out to induce transformation into a thermoelectric semiconducting β-FeSi₂ phase. The transformation behavior of the β-FeSi₂ was investigated utilizing DTA, SEM, and XRD analyses. Isothermal annealing at 830°C in vacuum led to a thermoelectric semiconducting β-FeSi₂ phase transformation, but some residual metallic α and ?-phases were unavoidable even after 96 hours of annealing. The iron silicide microstructures were investigated using SEM and TEM. The mechanical and thermoelectric properties of the β-FeSi₂ materials before and after isothermal annealing are characterized in this study.     

Electric and mechanical performances of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 prepared by spark plasma sintering

Thermoelectric (TE) materials are a kind of functional materials which can be used to convert directly heat energy to electricity or reversely.The thermoelectric effects hold great potential for application in power generation and refrigeration.Bi2Te3 and its alloys are well known as best TE materials currently available near room temperature.This paper studies respectively the effects of spark plasma sintering (SPS) on electric performance of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thermoelectric materials that are prepared through vacuum melting and ball milling.Through X-ray Diffraction and cold field emission scanning electric microscope s4800, the phase constituent and microstructure of the TE materials samples were analyzed.Electric conductivity and power factor can be improved with the rise of Spark Plasma Sintering temperature (from 300 to 500 ℃) and pressure(from 30 to 60 MPa), and the density and mechanical strength of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thermoelectric material increase, too.

Effect of Microstructural Control on Thermoelectric Properties of Hot-Pressed Aluminum-Doped Zinc Oxide

The thermal conductivity of polycrystalline Al-doped ZnO was controlled through the fabrication of nanostructured polycrystalline materials, by hot-pressing nanosized Zn_{1– x} Al _x O ( x = 0.01, 0.02) particles, which were synthesized by a coprecipitation and spray-drying method. This process resulted in an improved thermoelectric power factor because of the nanosized Zn_0.99Al_0.01O particles of the polycrystalline products. The thermal conductivity also was decreased as a result of the formation of nanocrystalline Zn_0.99Al_0.01O.     

Additive-aided electrochemical deposition of bismuth telluride in a basic electrolyte

A new basic electrolyte with two cationic plating additives,polydiaminourea and polyaminosulfone,was investigated for the electrochemical deposition of the bismuth telluride film on a nickel-plated copper foil.Tellurium starts to deposit at a higher potential(-0.35 V) than bismuth(-0.5 V) in this electrolyte.The tellurium-to-bismuth ratio increases while the deposition potential declines from-1 to-1.25 V, indicating a kinetically quicker bismuth deposition at higher potentials.The as-deposited film featu...
