Binary skutterudite CoSb3 compounds were prepared by the arc melting and hot pressing processes and their thermoelectric properties were investigated at 300K-600K. Annealing effect was examined and it was correlated to phase transformation and homogenization. Thermoelectric properties of the arc-melted and hot-pressed CoSb3 were discussed and compared. Undoped CoSb3 prepared by the arc melting showed p-type conduction and metallic behavior at all temperatures examined. However, hot pressed specimens showed n-type conduction, possibly due to Sb evaporation. Thermoelectric properties were remarkably improved by annealing in vacuum and they were closely related to phase transitions.

SixGe1-x (x = 0.75 for n-type and 0.7 for p-type) is a typical thermoelectric material used at higher temperature as thermoelectric generator. Its property is dependent on the composition. SixGe1-x containing different amount of fullerite added as hollow quantum dot were fabricated by hot-pressing method. The relations among thermoelectric property, the amount of fullerite and the microstructure were investigated by normal measurement and analytical method.

AbstractThermoelectric properties of polycrystalline (Bi1−xSbx)2Te3 (0.75 ≤ x ≤ 0.85), fabricated by mechanical alloying and hot pressing methods, have been investigated. Formation of (Bi0.25Sb0.75)2Te3 alloy powder was completed by mechanical alloying for 5 hours at ball- to-material ratio of 5: 1, and processing time for (Bi1−xSbx)2Te3 formation increased with Sb2Te3 content x. When (Bi0.25Sb0.75)2Te3 was hot pressed at temperatures ranging from 300°C to 550°C for 30 minutes, figure-of-merit increased with hot pressing temperature and maximum value of 2.8 × 10−3/K could be obtained by hot pressing at 550°C. When hot pressed at 550°C, (Bi0.2Sb0.8)2Te3 exhibited figure-of-merit of 2.92 × 10−3/K, which could be improved to 2.97 × 10−3/K with addition of 1 wt% Sb as acceptor dopant.

AbstractThe p-type Te-doped Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 and n-type SbI3-doped Bi2Te2.85Se0.15 thermoelectric compounds were fabricated by hot pressing in the temperature range of 380 to 440 °C under 200 MPa in Ar. Both the compounds were highly dense and showed high crystalline quality. The grains of the compounds were preferentially oriented and contained many dislocations through the hot pressing. The fracture path followed the transgranular cleavage planes, which are perpendicular to the c-axis. In addition, with increasing the pressing temperature, the figure of merit was increased. The highest values of figure of merit for the p- and n-type compounds, which were obtained at 420 °C, were 2.69 × 10−3/K and 2.35×10−3/K, respectively.
