摘要

Miniaturized thermoelectric coolers, known for their high cooling power density and rapid thermal response, hold promise for localized thermal management. While traditional thermoelectric coolers have primarily relied on Bi2Te3 alloys, the recent development of n-type Mg3Bi2-based materials presents a compelling alternative, offering enhanced cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability. In this study, we have designed and fabricated a Mg3Bi2-based miniscale thermoelectric cooler. At the hot-side temperature of 300 K, the cooler achieves a maximum cooling temperature difference of ~59.0 K, a cooling power density of ~5.7 W cm-2, and a cooling speed of 65 K s-1, which surpasses the state-of-the-art Mg3Bi2-based devices. In addition, the miniaturized Mg3Bi2-based cooler maintains its cooling performance after cyclic electrical current density between 1 A mm-2 and 3 A mm-2 for approximately 3,000 cycles. Notably, this miniscale cooler has been applied to provide localized cooling for the central processing unit in a microcontroller. Our findings highlight the potential of Mg3Bi2-based miniscale coolers, offering new possibilities for localized thermal management in electronic devices.
