Design of N-Type Textured Bi₂ Te₃ with Robust Mechanical Properties for Thermoelectric Micro-Refrigeration Application.

ABSTRACT: Thermoelectric refrigeration is one of the mature techniques used for cooling applications, with the great advantage of miniaturization over traditional compression refrigeration. Due to the anisotropic thermoelectric properties of n-type bismuth telluride (Bi₂ Te₃ ) alloys, these two common methods, including the liquid phase hot deformation (LPHD) and traditional hot forging (HF) methods, are of considerable importance for texture engineering to enhance performance. However, their effects on thermoelectric and mechanical properties are still controversial and not clear yet. Moreover, there has been little documentation of mechanical properties related to micro-refrigeration applications. In this work, the above-mentioned methods are separately employed to control th
