Item type:Publication, Enhanced antimony telluride thermoelectric generators: From material synthesis to device applications(2025-12-01); ; This study investigates the effect of Bi₄O₄SeCl₂ (BOSC) addition (0–4 wt%) on the thermoelectric performance of p-type Bi₀.₅Sb₁.₅Te₃ synthesized via high-energy ball milling. XRD analysis revealed lattice incorporation at 1 wt% BOSC, while higher concentrations led to phase separation. The 1 wt% BOSC sample exhibited a significantly reduced total thermal conductivity of 0.28 W/m·K, compared to 0.46 W/m·K in the undoped sample, attributed to enhanced phonon scattering. Despite moderate decreases in electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient, a peak ZT of 1.02 at 50 °C was achieved—representing a ∼54 % improvement over the undoped material. Furthermore, a prototype thermoelectric module fabricated with BOSC-doped legs produced a power density of 17.6 mW/cm² under a 150 °C temperature gradient. These results demonstrate that BOSC is an effective additive for reducing thermal conductivity and enhancing overall thermoelectric performance, offering potential for energy harvesting applications at moderate temperatures. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Post-annealing effects on (00l) texture, Cl/Se ratio, and electrical and glass-like thermal transport in Bi₄O₄SeCl₂(2026-04-25); ; Naemchanthara, KittisakchaiBi₄O₄SeCl₂ is a heteroanionic layered material with intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity and anisotropic charge transport. In this work, the effects of post-annealing temperature on the crystallographic texture, anion chemistry, defect evolution, and transport properties of Bi₄O₄SeCl₂ were systematically investigated. Polycrystalline Bi₄O₄SeCl₂, synthesized by solid-state reaction combined with high-energy ball milling, was post-annealed at 400–700 °C. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy revealed that post-annealing eliminated the residual BiOCl precursor phase, enhanced the (00 l) preferred orientation, and promoted grain growth up to 600 °C, followed by partial texture degradation at 700 °C due to recrystallization. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy showed progressive Se and Cl volatilization during annealing, leading to an increased Cl/Se ratio. The carrier mobility and electrical conductivity reached maximum values at 600 °C, consistent with improved texture and layered-domain connectivity. Thermal transport remained lattice-dominated and only weakly temperature-dependent. The phonon mean free path, estimated using kinetic theory, was in the sub-nanometer range (∼0.25–0.57 nm), comparable to the interatomic spacing, indicating glass-like phonon transport. Representative HRTEM observations also revealed dislocation-related lattice defects and locally distorted regions, suggesting that vacancy disorder and local strain fields may provide additional phonon scattering. These results demonstrate that post-annealing optimizes electrical transport through phase purification, texture development, and defect-mediated carrier regulation, while the lattice thermal conductivity remains fundamentally limited by intrinsic glass-like phonon transport in Bi₄O₄SeCl₂. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Synthesis of Fe–Cu Alloys via Ball Milling for Electrode Fabrication Used in Electrochemical Nitrate Removal from Wastewater(2025-07-01); ; ; Srirach, PisanFe and Cu powders were mixed at a 50:50 ratio. Then, Fe-Cu alloys were prepared using the ball milling technique with different milling times of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 h. The crystalline structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and it was found that the optimum milling time was 30 h. The homogeneity of the Fe and Cu elements in the Fe–Cu alloys was analyzed using the scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) mapping technique. Additionally, the crystal orientation of the Fe–Cu alloys was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To fabricate the cathode for nitrate removal via electrolysis, an Fe–Cu alloy milled for 30 h was deposited onto a copper substrate using mechanical milling, then annealed at 800 °C. A pulsed DC electrolysis method was developed to test the nitrate removal efficiency of the Fe–Cu-coated cathode. The anode used was an Al sheet. The synthesized wastewater was prepared from KNO<inf>3</inf>. Nitrate removal experiments from the synthesized wastewater were performed for durations of 0–4 h. The results show that the nitrate removal efficiency at 4 h was 96.90% compared to 74.40% with the Cu cathode.
