説明:

Reduction of lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) is one of the most critical strategies for achieving high thermoelectric energy conversion efficiency (ZT). SrTiO3 is regarded as an environmentally benign thermoelectric material. Complex cation-site defects in SrTiO3, such as those produced by heavy-mass rare-earth cation substitution and the formation of Sr vacancies, have been proven effective in reducing κlat. In this paper, we synthesized SrTiO3−x−δHxVOδ bulk polycrystals with complex anion-site defects, incorporating large amounts of both hydrogen anions (Hδ) and oxygen vacancies (VO), with the total concentration of x + δ controlled over a wide range from 0.16 to 0.40. As increasing x + δ values, κlat at 300 K largely decreased from 8.22 W/(mK) for pure SrTiO3 to 4.02 W/(mK) for SrTiO2.40H0.27VO0.13, which exhibited glass-like phonon transport. Both H and VO were found to contribute almost equally to phonon scattering, attributed to local structure distortions in Ti−O6 octahedra. In contrast, while the carrier activation rate of Hδ was nearly 100%, that of VO was only 23-27% in SrTiO3-x-δHxVOδ bulks, allowing the realization of low κlat and a high power factor (PF) even at high x + δ values. The highest ZT value of ~0.1 was obtained at 300 K for SrTiO2.73H0.16VO0.11, and further increased to 0.21 at 673 K for SrTiO2.60H0.27VO0.13. These findings demonstrate that anion-site defect engineering via mixed-anion substitution and vacancy formation is a promising strategy for further reducing K_lat and enhancing the performance of thermoelectric oxides.
