要旨

Zintl phases exhibit inherently low thermal conductivity and adjustable electronic properties, which are integral to designing high-efficiency thermoelectric materials. Inspired by the promising thermoelectric figure of merit of optimized A5M2Sb6 Zintl phases (A = Ca or Sr, M = Al, Ga, In), Zn-doped Sr5In2−xZnxSb6 (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1) compounds were investigated. Optical absorption measurements combined with band structure calculations indicate two distinct energy transitions for Sr5In2Sb6, one direct (Eg ∼ 0.3 eV) and the other from a lower valence band manifold to the conduction band edge (Eg ∼ 0.55 eV). Sr5In2Sb6 exhibits nondegenerate p-type semiconducting behavior with low carrier concentration (∼4 × 1018 h+ cm−3 at 300 K). Charge carrier tuning was achieved by Zn2+ substitution on the In3+ site, increasing carrier concentrations to up to 1020 h+ cm−3. All samples displayed relatively low thermal conductivities (∼0.7 W m−1 K−1 at 700 K). The Zn-doped samples exhibited significantly higher zT values compared to the undoped sample, reaching a value of ∼0.4 at 750 K for Sr5In1.9Zn0.1Sb6.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Artificial photosynthesis Batteries Carbon dioxide conversion Catalysis Fuel cells Gas capture/separation/storage Green/sustainable materials Hydrogen generation Hydrogen storage Photocatalysis Photovoltaics Self-cleaning materials Self-healing materials Sensors Supercapacitors Thermoelectrics Water splitting Water treatment
