| contents | Nanostructured materials and nanocomposites have shown great promise for improving the efficiency of thermoelectric materials. Herein, Fe nanoparticles were imbedded into a CrN matrix by combining two physical vapor deposition approaches, namely high-power impulse magnetron sputtering and a nanoparticle gun. The combination of these techniques allowed the formation of nanocomposites in which the Fe nanoparticles remained intact without intermixing with the matrix. The electrical and thermal transport properties of the nanocomposites were investigated and compared to a monolithic CrN film. The measured thermoelectric properties revealed an increase in the Seebeck coefficient, with a decrease of hall carrier concentration and an increase of the electron mobility which could be explained by energy filtering by internal phases created at the NP/matrix interface. The thermal conductivity of the final nanocomposite was reduced from 4.8 W m-1K-1 to a minimum of 3.0 W m-1K-1 W. This study shows prospects for the nanocomposite synthesis process using nanoparticles and its use in improving the thermoelectric properties of coatings. |
