Usage

Description

Zinc antimonide (ZnSb) is an intermetallic compound and an electron-poor (II-V) semiconductor with unique thermoelectric properties. It is characterized by its silvery-white crystalline appearance and is available in a 99.5% pure form with melted pieces of 6mm or smaller. ZnSb has been enhanced for energy efficiency and is utilized in various applications due to its distinct chemical and physical properties.

Uses

Used in Thermoelectric Devices:
Zinc antimonide is used as a thermoelectric material for its ability to convert thermal energy into electrical energy. The efficiency of ZnSb can be improved by reducing its thermal conductivity through nanostructuring and doping with different elements such as lead (Pb) and antimony (Sb). This makes it a promising candidate for applications in energy harvesting and power generation systems.
Used in Thermionic Studies:
Zinc antimonide is also employed in thermionic studies, which involve the emission of electrons from a heated material. Its unique properties make it suitable for research and development in the field of thermionics, contributing to advancements in electron emission technology.
Used in Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries:
In recent years, ZnSb has gained attention as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Its properties make it a potential candidate for improving the performance and efficiency of these batteries, which are widely used in various electronic devices and electric vehicles. The use of ZnSb in lithium-ion batteries can lead to enhanced energy storage capacity and longer-lasting power sources.
