Bi-Sb-Te Based Thin Film Thermoelectric Generator

Article Preview

Abstract:

N-type Bi2Te3 and p-type Sb2Te3 thermoelectric thin films have been prepared by RF and DC co-sputtering. The Seebeck coefficient of n-type Bi2Te3 and p-type Sb2Te3 thin films is about -122 μVK-1 and 108 μVK-1, the power factor is about 0.82×10-3 Wm-1K-2 and 1.60×10-3 Wm-1K-2. Then, the films have been selected to fabricate the thin film thermoelectric generator. The results show that the open-circuit voltage of 12.2 mV and the output power of 3.32 μW are obtained for a thin film generator with the temperature difference at 60 K.
