Synthesis and Characterization of Mg₂Si Thermoelectric Material

Abstract:

The Mg₂Si compound was synthesized by the solid state reaction method. The powder precursors of Mg and Si were thoroughly mixed in ballmilling for 24 hr in an argon atmosphere. Mixed powder was pressed at 170MPa and sintered at 800 °C for 6 hr in an argon atmosphere. The sinter powder was crushed in mortar for 1 hr. The crystal structure and microstructure were measured and observed by using XRD and SEM. The microstructure and the crystal structure were analyzed. TheMg₂Si shows single phase, cubic structure and particle size about 1-10 mm.
