Abstract

N-type Mg_3.2Sb_1.5Bi_0.5 materials are prepared by cation-site doping with lanthanides (La, Ce). Both La- and Ce-doped samples exhibit a higher doping limit and greater efficiency than those of chalcogen (Te, Se, S)-doped n-type Mg_3.2Sb_1.5Bi_0.5 samples. High electron carrier concentration ≈9 × 10¹⁹ cm⁻³ is obtained in Mg_3.18La_0.02Sb_1.5Bi_0.5 and Mg_3.185Ce_0.015Sb_1.5Bi_0.5, which is close to the theoretical doping-concentration limit and induces contributions from more electron bands. A higher electrical conductivity was thus obtained and is beneficial to the enhanced ZT values for lanthanide-doped Mg_3.2Sb_1.5Bi_0.5. The highest ZT value ≈1.6 is achieved in Mg_3.19La_0.01Sb_1.5Bi_0.5 at 693 K, along with a ZT ≈1.50 in Mg_3.19Ce_0.01Sb_1.5Bi_0.5 at 693 K, indicating that lanthanides provide a promising doping strategy for Mg_3.2Sb_1.5Bi_0.5-based materials.
