00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Delgado, Daniela author Moris, Silvana author Valencia Gálvez, Paulina author López García, María Luisa author Álvarez Serrano, Inmaculada author Blake, Graeme R. author Galdámez, Antonio author 2023 Herein, we report the synthesis, structural and microstructural characterization, and thermoelectric properties of AgSnm[Sb0.8Bi0.2]Te2+m and Br-doped telluride systems. These compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction at high temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction data reveal that these samples exhibit crystal structures related to the NaCl-type lattice. The microstructures and morphologies are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Positive values of the Seebeck coefficient (S) indicate that the transport properties are dominated by holes. The S of undoped AgSnm[Sb0.8Bi0.2]Te2+m ranges from +40 to 57 mu V.K-1. Br-doped samples with m = 2 show S values of +74 mu V.K-1 at RT, and the Seebeck coefficient increases almost linearly with increasing temperature. The total thermal conductivity (kappa(tot)) monotonically increases with increasing temperature (10-300 K). The ktot values of undoped AgSnm[Sb0.8Bi0.2]Te2+m are similar to 1.8 W m(-1) K-1 (m = 4) and similar to 1.0 W m(-1) K-1 (m = 2) at 300 K. The electrical conductivity (sigma) decreases almost linearly with increasing temperature, indicating metal-like behavior. The ZT value increases as a function of temperature. A maximum ZT value of similar to 0.07 is achieved at room temperature for the Br-doped phase with m = 4.
