Abstract

In this work, a novel high-entropy n-type thermoelectric material Sr0.9La0.1(Zr0.25Sn0.25Ti0.25Hf0.25)O3 with pure perovskite phase was prepared using a conventional solid state processing route. The results of TEM and XPS show that various types of crystal defects and lattice distortions, such as oxygen vacancies, edge dislocations, in-phase rotations of octahedron and antiparallel cation displacements coexist in this high-entropy ceramic. At 873 K, the high-entropy ceramics showed both a low thermal conductivity (1.89 W/m/K) and a high Seebeck coefficient (393 μV/K). This work highlights a way to obtain high-performance perovskite-type oxide thermoelectric materials through high-entropy composition design.
