Herein, we develop a facile wet chemical method for the synthesis of AgTe powders at room temperature and flexible AgTe/nylon thermoelectric (TE) films are prepared by vacuum-assisted filtration of the synthesized AgTe powders and then hot pressing. Because of the good crystallinity of AgTe grains and continuous grain boundaries, an optimized film exhibits a power factor of 513 μW m K at 300 K, which stands among the highest values reported for AgTe-based films to date. In addition, the film also has good flexibility. A four-leg flexible TE device assembled with the film generates a power density of 5.46 W m at a temperature gradient of 31.8 K. This work provides a facile and environmentally friendly method for preparing flexible AgTe films.
在此,我们开发了一种简便的湿化学方法,用于在室温下合成AgTe粉末,并通过对合成的AgTe粉末进行真空辅助过滤然后热压来制备柔性AgTe/尼龙热电(TE)薄膜。由于AgTe晶粒具有良好的结晶性和连续的晶界,优化后的薄膜在300 K时的功率因子为513 μW m⁻² K⁻²,这是迄今为止报道的基于AgTe的薄膜中的最高值之一。此外,该薄膜还具有良好的柔韧性。用该薄膜组装的四腿柔性TE器件在31.8 K的温度梯度下产生的功率密度为5.46 W m⁻²。这项工作为制备柔性AgTe薄膜提供了一种简便且环保的方法。
