TL;DR: In this article, a melt-spinning-based synthesis that forms in situ ZnTe nanoprecipitates to produce an extremely low lattice thermal conductivity of ∼ 0.35 W m−1 K−1 at 400 K, approaching the amorphous limit in the Bi2−xSbxTe3 system, while preserving the high power factor of Bi0.46Sb1.54Te3.
Abstract: Defect engineering and nano-structuring are the core stratagems for improving thermoelectric properties. In bismuth telluride alloys nanosizing individual crystallites has been extensively studied in efforts to reduce the thermal conductivity, but nanostructuring with second phases has been more challenging. In this study, we demonstrate a thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of 1.4 at 400 K, realized in Zn-containing BiSbTe alloys (specifically Bi0.46Sb1.54Te3) by integrating defect complexity with nanostructuring. We have succeeded in creating nanostructured BiSbTe alloys containing ZnTe nanoprecipitates. We present a melt-spinning-based synthesis that forms in situ ZnTe nanoprecipitates to produce an extremely low lattice thermal conductivity of ∼0.35 W m−1 K−1 at 400 K, approaching the amorphous limit in the Bi2−xSbxTe3 system, while preserving the high power factor of Bi0.46Sb1.54Te3. These samples show excellent repeatability and thermal stability at temperatures up to 523 K. DFT calculations and experimental results show that Zn is inclined to form dual site defects, including two substitutional defects ZnBi/Sb′ and a Te vacancy, to achieve full charge compensation, which was further explicitly corroborated by Positron annihilation measurement. The strong enhancement of thermoelectric properties was validated in a thermoelectric module fabricated with the melt-spun p-legs (ZnTe-nanostructured BiSbTe) and zone-melt n-legs (conventional BiTeSe) which achieved a thermoelectric conversion efficiency of 5.0% when subjected to a temperature gradient of 250 K, representing about 40% improvement compared with a commercial zone-melt-based module. The results presented here represent a significant step forward for applications in thermoelectric power generation.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of graphene loading on the microstructures and photoelectric conversion performance of dye-sensitized solar cells were investigated, and a moderate amount of graphene (0.75 wt%) largely lowered the DSSC performance, which not only impaired the crystallinity of the TiO2-NSs but also shielded the light adsorption of the dyes and reduced the number of photogenerated electrons.
Abstract: Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on TiO2 nanosheets (TiO2-NSs)/graphene nanocomposite films were fabricated, and the effects of graphene on the microstructures and photoelectric conversion performance of the as-fabricated DSSC were investigated. The graphene loading clearly influences the textural properties (including specific surface areas, porosity and pore volume) and the optical absorption properties. Moreover, the charge transfer and transport versus the charge trapping and recombination is also affected by the graphene loading. As a consequence, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the TiO2-NSs/graphene nanocomposite film electrodes can be improved to a great extent upon graphene loading, dependent on the loading amount of graphene. A moderate amount of graphene ( 0.75 wt%) largely lowered the DSSC performance. Higher graphene loading not only impaired the crystallinity of the TiO2-NSs, but also shielded the light adsorption of the dyes and reduced the number of photogenerated electrons.
