Thermoelectric Lead Telluride with ZnO Nanoparticles
Journal Title: Фізика і хімія твердого тіла - Year 2015, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
An X-ray diffraction structural study and measurement of Seebeck coefficient (S), the electrical conductivity (σ) and thermal conductivity (χ) for Lead Telluride with nanoinclusions of ZnO. The calculated value of the specific thermoelectric power (S2σ) and thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT). It was established that the addition of ZnO powder Nanodispersed diameter grains (40-60) nm PbTe reduces the thermal conductivity of the material, and at 0.5 wt.% ZnO to an increase of lead telluride thermoelectric figure of merit to ZT≈1,3.
