    摘要: A thermoelectric material comprises core-shell particles having a core formed from a core material and a shell formed from a shell material. In representative examples, the shell material is a material showing an appreciable thermoelectric effect in bulk. The core material preferably has a lower thermal conductivity than the shell material. In representative examples, the core material is an inorganic oxide such as silica or alumina, and the shell material is a chalcogenide semiconductor such as a telluride, for example bismuth telluride. A thermoelectric material including such core-shell particles may have an improved thermoelectric figure of merit compared with a bulk sample of the shell material alone. Embodiments of the invention further include thermoelectric devices using such thermoelectric materials, and preparation techniques. The use of core-shell nanoparticles allows highly uniform nanocomposites to be formed, and embodiments of the invention also includes other materials and devices using core-shell particles.

    摘要: A process for synthesizing a metal telluride is provided that includes the dissolution of a metal precursor in a solvent containing a ligand to form a metal-ligand complex soluble in the solvent. The metal-ligand complex is then reacted with a telluride-containing reagent to form metal telluride domains having a mean linear dimension of from 2 to 40 nanometers. NaHTe represents a well-suited telluride reagent. A composition is provided that includes a plurality of metal telluride crystalline domains (PbTe)1-x-y(SnTe)x(Bi2Te3)y  (I) having a mean linear dimension of from 2 to 40 nanometers inclusive where x is between 0 and 1 inclusive and y is between 0 and 1 inclusive with the proviso that x+y is less than or equal to 1. Each of the metal telluride crystalline domains has a surface passivated with a saccharide moiety or a polydentate carboxylate. A densified mass having a density of greater than 95% of the theoretical density includes a plurality of lead telluride, tin telluride, bismuth telluride, or a combination thereof of domains having a mean linear dimension of from 2 to 40 nanometers inclusive that have been subjected to hot isotactic pressing.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for producing, controlling the shape and size oft Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticles. The method includes preparing a Pb (Pb) precursor containing Pb and a carboxylic acid dissolved in a hydrocarbon solution and preparing a chalcogen element precursor containing a chalcogen element dissolved in a hydrocarbon solution. The amount of Pb and chalcogen in the respective precursor affords for a predetermined Pb:chalcogen element ratio to be present when the Pb precursor is mixed with the chalcogen element precursor. The Pb precursor is mixed with the chalcogen element precursor to form a Pb-chalcogen mixture in such a manner that Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticle nucleation does not occur. A nucleation and growth solution containing a surfactant is also prepared by heating the solution to a nucleation temperature sufficient to nucleate nanoparticles when the Pb-chalcogen element mixture is added. Upon injection of the Pb-chalcogen element mixture into the heated nucleation and growth solution, Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticles nucleate and a Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticle solution is formed, which is thereafter cooled to a growth temperature that is below the nucleation temperature. The Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticle solution at the growth temperature is held at the growth temperature for a predetermined time period such that a desired nanoparticle size is obtained. The Pb:chalcogen element ratio and a surfactant in the nucleation and growth solution can control the shape of the Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticles. The nucleation temperature, the growth temperature, the time at which the Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticle solution is held at the growth temperature and a surfactant can control the size of the Pb-chalcogenide nanoparticles.
