Reduction of Thermal Conductivity through the Dispersion of TIC Nanoparticles into a p-Type BI0.5SB1.5TE3 Alloy by Ball Milling and Spark Plasma Sintering

The dispersion of nanoparticles in the host matrix is a novel approach to enhance the thermoelectric performance. In this work, we incorporate the TiC (x = 0, 1 and 2 wt.%) nanoparticles into a p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 matrix, and their effects on microstructure and thermoelectric properties were system...
