Abstract: Mg2(Si, Sn)-based materials are a kind of environment-friendly thermoelectric materials with great application prospects.The single phase Mg2(Si0.4Sn0.6)Sb0.015 solid solution was prepared by melt spinning (MS) combined with spark plasma sintering (MS+SPS).By comparing with the same sample prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) combined with spark plasma sintering (MA+SPS), the effect of MS process on its microstructure and thermoelectric properties were studied.The results show that the solid solution thin belt obtained by MS is mainly composed of small particles of 200—500 nm.The obtained sinered dense buck material has obviously refined grains and uniformly distributed coherent nano precipitates.Compared with the samples prepared by MA+SPS process, the mobility of solid solution prepared by MS+SPS is significantly reduced, the resistivity increases slightly, the Seebeck coefficient increases significantly, and the thermal conductivity and lattice thermal conductivity decrease significantly.The thermoelectric properties of Mg2(Si0.4Sn0.6)Sb0.015 solid solution prepared by MS+SPS are significantly improved, and the maximum ZT value reached to 1.30 at 643 K.
