Unveiling the Intrinsic Low Thermal Conductivity of BiAgSeS through Entropy Engineering in SHS Kinetic Process
Source abstract
Abstract
It is of great significance to find the ultra-rapid preparation technology of materials and realize the optimization of electroacoustic transport properties in the research of thermoelectric materials. In this study, BiAgSeS compounds were successfully prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS), of which the kinetic process was systematically studied. It is found that the melting of Bi is the key to activate and initiate SHS reaction.
