采用高能球磨法制备了Ti1–xNiSb (x = 0, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25) 和Ti1–x–yScyNiSb (x = 0.10, 0.15; y = 0.03, 0.05) 样品, 并系统地研究了Sc掺杂对Ti1–xNiSb样品的物相、微结构以及电热输运性能的影响. 实验结果表明, Sc掺杂能够有效降低载流子浓度, 提高塞贝克系数, 改善材料的电输运性能. 此外, 由于Sc掺杂能够提高原子间的结合能, 从而有效减少了NiSb杂相. Ti1–x–yScyNiSb的晶格热导率随Sc掺杂而上升, 这可归因于化学键的增强以及电声散射作用的减弱. 但是载流子浓度的急剧下降导致样品的电子热导率显著下降, 从而Ti1–x–yScyNiSb样品的总热导率明显降低. 最终, Ti0.8Sc0.05NiSb样品获得最佳的热电性能, 其功率因子在973 K达到17.7 μW·cm-1·K-2, 无量纲热电优值ZT在973 K达到0.42, 相比未掺杂的单相Ti0.9NiSb样品提升了180%.The nominal composition TiNiSb with 19 valence electrons is demonstrated to be composed of off-stoichiometric half-Heusler phase and impurities. In this work, the Ti1–xNiSb (x = 0, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25) samples are prepared by ball milling and spark plasma sintering. The single-phase Ti0.9NiSb sample, deviating from the theoretical composition Ti0.75NiSb base on 18-electron rule, is obtained, which might be ascribed to the small defect formation energy of Ti filling the vacancy as well as our ball-milling preparation method. With the single-phase Ti0.9NiSb sample used as the base material, a small amount of Sc is used to partially replace Ti in order to further reduce the carrier concentration. Thus, the Ti1–x–yScyNiSb (x = 0.10, 0.15; y = 0.03, 0.05) samples are designed to investigate the effect of Sc doping on the thermoelectric properties. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirm the single-phase nature of the Ti1–x–yScyNiSb samples. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results indicate that the actual compositions of the Ti1–x–yScyNiSb samples are consistent well with their nominal compositions, and all elements are distributed uniformly in the sample. Moreover, the doping of Sc can increase the content of Ti vacancy while maintaining the single-phase structure, which could be attributed to the higher binding energy between Sc and Sb because the electronegativity of Sc is less than that of Ti. Both the substitution of Sc for Ti and the increase of the Ti vacancies significantly reduce the carrier concentration, which decreases from ~13.6 × 1021 cm–3 for Ti0.9NiSb to ~3.4 × 1021 cm–3 for Ti0.8Sc0.05NiSb. The reduced carrier concentration results in greatly increased Seebeck coefficient, therefore the Ti0.8Sc0.05NiSb sample achieves a power factor as high as 17.7 μW·cm-1·K-2 at 973 K. Although the lattice thermal conductivity of Sc-doped sample increases slightly due to the reduction of electron–phonon scattering and the enhancement of chemical bonds, the total thermal conductivity decreases dramatically due to the electronic thermal conductivity decreasing greatly. Finally, the Ti0.8Sc0.05NiSb sample reaches a ZT value of ~0.42 at 973 K, which is 180% higher than that of Ti0.9NiSb sample. Despite the fact that the thermoelectric performance of our sample is still inferior to those of the state-of-the-art off-stoichiometric 19-electron half-Heusler alloys, this work demonstrates that the thermoelectric performance of Ti1–xNiSb can be further improved by non-isoelectronic doping.
