In the current study, polymer-based composites, consisting of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Bismuth Antimony Telluride (BiSbTe), were produced using mechanical mixing and hot pressing. These composites were investigated regarding their electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient, with respect to Bi doping and BiSbTe loading into the composite. Experimental results showed that their thermoelectric performance is comparable-or even superior, in some cases-to reported thermoelectric polymer composites that have been produced using other complex techniques. Consequently, mechanically mixed polymer-based thermoelectric materials could be an efficient method for low-cost and large-scale production of polymer composites for potential thermoelectric applications.
在当前的研究中,通过机械混合和热压制备了由丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯(ABS)和铋锑碲(BiSbTe)组成的聚合物基复合材料。针对铋掺杂以及BiSbTe在复合材料中的负载量,对这些复合材料的电阻率和塞贝克系数进行了研究。实验结果表明,在某些情况下,它们的热电性能与使用其他复杂技术制备的已报道的热电聚合物复合材料相当,甚至更优。因此,机械混合的聚合物基热电材料可能是一种低成本、大规模生产用于潜在热电应用的聚合物复合材料的有效方法。
