Abstract
In recent years, Thermoelectric materials are playing a larger role in the global effort to develop diverse, efficient, and sustainable energy technologies. Presently, the idea of using nanotechnology has opened up the possibility of engineering materials at nanoscale dimensions to achieve more efficient thermoelectric devices. In this thesis, Bismuth Antimony nanocomposites have been studied using different consolidation process, incorporating by materials, which have high electronic properties. Two suitable candidates for such properties are Silicon Carbide and graphene.
Various methods of synthesizing of Bismuth Antimony nanocomposite were attempted, including mechanical alloying and subsequence hot isostatic pressing, spark plasma sintering, and spark plasma extrusion. The microstructure and elemental makeup of the composites, as well as their thermal and electrical transport characteristics, were investigated. The impacts of nanoparticle additions on the efficiency of the materials are discussed, as well as the applicability of enhancing the thermoelectric performance of this class of materials using these techniques.
