Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the p-type, Cu3ZnSnS5-y, Cu3Al1-xGaxSnS5, Ag-doped SnS and SnSe nanoparticles were synthesised. Various nanocomposite thermoelectric materials were also created by blending Cu3AlSnS5 nanoparticles with Cu2SnS3 nanoparticles as nanoinclusions or blending Cu3ZnSnS5-y nanoparticles with other p-type thermoelectric nanoparticles such as Cu2SnS3 as nanoinclusions. In the case of n-type, nanoparticles of CuFe2S3, CoSbS, Ag-doped CuFeS2, Cu1-xZnxFeS2, CuFe2S1.5Se0.5 and SnSe2 were synthesised and various nanocomposite thermoelectric materials comprising these combinations were created.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
地球上で産生されたエネルギーのうち約7割のエネルギーが200℃以下の低温廃熱として捨てられている現状がある。本研究の成果を基にして、環境調和型硫化物系熱電材料の熱電変換効率を実用化レベルにまで向上できれば、環境調和型硫化物系熱電材料を用いた熱電素子を開発することにより、これらの低温廃熱のエネルギーハーベスティングが実現でき、地球温暖化抑制や省エネ対策に大きく貢献する。
