摘要: 全赫斯勒合金Fe2VAl具有较机械强度高、电输运性能好和组成元素地球丰度高的优势,受到热电领域的广泛关注。然而,该合金的高晶格热导率极大限制了热电优值(zT)的提升。本研究采用电弧熔炼法制备了一系列名义化学成分为 Fe2V1+xAl1-xx = 0~0.21)的块体材料,系统研究了V取代Al位对物相组成、显微结构、能带结构和热电输运性能的影响。结果表明,所有材料均为部分无序的B2单相结构。V掺杂可将费米能级上移至导带,大幅度增大载流子浓度,并将功率因子提升至 4.5 mW·K-2·m-1。同时,由于质量与应力波动引起的声子散射作用增强,晶格热导率显著降低。最终,x=0.15 的材料最大zT达到0.14,与未掺杂Fe2VAl 材料相比,提升近280倍。该研究表明V取代Al位可以有效提升Fe2VAl合金的热电性能。

Abstract: Full-Heusler Fe2VAl alloy has received significant attention for thermoelectric applications due to its high mechanical strength, favorable electrical transport behavior, and earth-abundant constituent elements. However, its intrinsically high lattice thermal conductivity hinders the enhancement of the figure of merit (zT). In this study, a series of bulk materials with the nominal composition of Fe2V1+xAl1-x (x=0-0.21) were prepared by the arc-melting method. The effects of substituting Al site with V on the phase composition, microstructure, band structure, and thermoelectric transport properties were systematically investigated. All materials exhibit a single phase with a partially disordered B2 structure. V-doping shifts the Fermi level into the conduction band, significantly enhancing the carrier concentration, and resulting in a high power factor of 4.5 mW·K-2·m-1. Additionally, the lattice thermal conductivity is substantially reduced due to enhanced phonon scattering induced by the mass and stress fluctuations. Ultimately, maximum zT of 0.14 is achieved for the material with x = 0.15, which is nearly 280 times larger than that of undoped Fe2VAl. This work demonstrates that substituting Al site with V can effectively improve the thermoelectric performance of Fe2VAl alloy.
