Characterization and thermoelectric performance of mechanochemically synthesized Cu–Ag–Se sample series
The Cu2−xAgxSe potential thermoelectrics series (x = 0.4–1.8) is prepared in a planetary ball mill by high-energy milling of Cu, Ag, and Se powders. After only 7 min of mechanochemical synthesis, the products are analyzed by X-ray diffraction, particle size distribution, specific surface area, X-ray fluorescence analys...
