Abstract: In this work, Cu and Se were mixed in a mixture ratio of 2:1 (molar ratio) by simple mixing, grinding in quartz mortar, planetary ball milling and high energy vibration milling. The results of SEM showed that the powder had poor uniformity and large particles size after simple mixing and grinding in quartz mortar. In opposite, the particle size of the powder after mixture of planetary mixture and high-energy vibrating milling was small and uniform, while generated the CuSe phase. Cu2Se with residual small amount of Cu phase was synthesized by self-propagating combustion, then the bulk was densified by SPS and a small amount of Cu phase also converted into Cu2Se. The conductivity performance and the thermal conductivity of sample after the ball milling for 2 h and the high-energy ball mill mixture for 10 min are lower than that of the simple mixture and mortar mixture. Also the thermoelectric performance of the product after milling in planetary and high energy vibration was excellent. The ZT value of the combustion synthesised Cu2Se after high-energy vibrating ball milling reached 1.25 at 550 ℃.
