  • Lead selenide (PbSe) has received extensive attention in recent years as a non-tellurium thermoelectric material. In this paper, PbSe-PbS solid solution alloys (PbSe1–xSx) were prepared by mechanical alloying combined with high pressure sintering method. The influence of Se/S content on its structure and thermoelectric properties was studied. The results demonstrate that the mechanical alloying method can rapidly synthesize PbSe1–xSx solid solution alloy powder, and achieve rapid densification by high pressure sintering. The electrical transport properties and conductivity type of PbSe1–xSx powder can be controlled by adjusting the Se/S ratio; solid solution alloy can realize short-wave phonon scattering, which significantly reduces the thermal conductivity of PbSe material. When x = 0.5 and the temperature is 600 K, the highest quality factor of PbSe1–xSx is 0.54, which is 64% higher than that of PbSe (0.33@450 K).
