主 题:Thermoelectric MoS_(2) SrTiO_(3) Energy scattering Interfacial thermal resistance
摘 要:As a semiconducting material with relatively low thermal conductivity,MoS_(2) nanoflake has the potential to serve as a modulator for optimizing the performance of thermoelectric(TE)***,the low yield of MoS_(2) nanoflakes prepared by conventional methods has constrained the development of MoS_(2) optimized TE *** propose a mechanical exfoliation method for mass production of MoS_(2) nanoflakes using attrition *** mixed with La and Nb co-doped SrTiO_(3)(SLNT)powder,the MoS_(2)/SLNT composites are fabricated by spark plasma *** is found that the heterojunctions formed at MoS_(2)/SLNT interfaces with proper band offset can effectively scatter the low-energy electrons,resulting in enhanced Seebeck coefficient without significantly undermining the electrical *** power factor of composites is improved when the MoS_(2) content is lower than 1.5 vol%.Meanwhile,the thermal conductivity of composites is significantly decreased due to the phonon scattering induced large thermal resistance at MoS_(2)/SLNT interfaces,which is much higher than that in graphene embedded SrTiO_(3) ***,a maximum ZT-0.24 is obtained at 800 K in 1.5 vol%MoS_(2)/SLNT composite,which is~26%higher compared with pristine *** work paves the way for application of TE materials modulated by transition metal dichalcogenides.
