Presentation Title Redissolution of Ge precipitates Boosts Thermoelectric Performance and Self-tunes the Carrier Concentration in Homogenous GeTe materials
Author(s) Yi-Fen Tsai, Hsin-Jay Wu
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Yi-Fen Tsai
Abstract Scope The germanium-telluride (GeTe) is one of the attractive thermoelectric (TE) materials due to its outstanding TE performance. However, the Ge vacancy with low formation energy results in high vacancies concentration in GeTe ( ~10-21 cm-3) which exceeds the optimal region for p-type TE alloys. Controlling the Ge vacancies and Ge precipitates become crucial in manipulating the carrier concentration and TE performance. This work utilizes pulsed hot-pressing to enable the redissolution of Ge precipitates and reduction in Ge vacancies sites for an In-doped GeTe. In the meantime, the nano-scale defects are introduced to lower the thermal conductivity. The average PF shows a 200% enhancement and the peak zT is 144% higher than the pristine GeTe.
