Microstructure and chemical data of the thermoelectric ZnSb material after joining to metallic electrodes and heat treatment

Abstract

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled: “Solder free joining as a highly effective method for making contact between thermoelectric materials and metallic electrodes” (Malik et al., 2017) [1]. This article presents microstructure obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical analysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) point measurements of the thermoelectric ZnSb legs after joining to metallic electrodes using solder (Zn-2Al) and free-soldering methods.
