Article Synopsis
- Half-Heusler alloys are gaining interest for mid-temperature thermoelectric applications due to their high thermal stability, large power factor, and good mechanical properties.
- The study created Zr-doped TiZrNiSn samples using a modified solid-state reaction and spark plasma sintering, finding that extra Zr doping improves the power factor by increasing the Seebeck coefficient while also reducing thermal conductivity.
- The results show a peak ZT value of 0.88 at 773 K and an average ZT of 0.62 from 373-773 K, suggesting that optimizing microstructures in TiNiSn-based alloys can enhance thermoelectric performance.
