High-pressure technique is an effective route to synthesize thermoelectric materials and tune transport properties simultaneously. In this work, S-doped copper–selenium compounds [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] were successfully synthesized by high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) technology in just 30 min. [Formula: see text] samples show layered morphology composed of abundant pores and lattice defects. The appropriate S introduction ([Formula: see text] and 0.03) can effectively enhance Seebeck coefficient and reduce the thermal conductivity of [Formula: see text]. Compared with the pure [Formula: see text] sample, [Formula: see text] exhibits a 30% lower thermal conductivity, but the decline of power factor by the distinctly increased electrical resistivity at high temperature results in a smaller zT at temperature [Formula: see text] K. The variations of thermoelectric properties are resulted from the competitive effects between S-doping and actual composition change (Cu:S). It indicates that S-doping is not so effective in improving the zT value of [Formula: see text] materials by high-pressure synthesis.

AbstractPolycrystalline skutterudite Ba0.4Co4Sb11.7Te0.3 with a bcc crystal structure was prepared by the High-Pressure and High-Temperature (HPHT) method. The study explored a chemical method for introducing Ba atoms into the voids of CoSb3 to optimize the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT in the system of Ba0.4Co4Sb11.7Te0.3. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe analysis, and thermoelectric properties measurement. The electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficients and thermal conductivities of the samples were measured in the temperature range of 300–743 K. The power factor and the figure of merit, ZT, of the samples all increased with the increasing temperature. A dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit of 0.87 at 743 K was achieved for n-type Ba0.4Co4Sb11.7Te0.3 at last. The results indicated Ba-filled CoSb3 prepared by HPHT method is an effective method to greatly enhance the thermoelectric properties of skutterudite compounds.

AbstractN-type polycrystalline skutterudite compounds Ni0.15Co3.85Sb12 and Fe0.2Ni0.15Co3.65Sb12 with the bcc crystal structure were synthesized by high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) method. The synthesis time was sharply reduced to approximately half an hour. Typical microstructures connected with lattice deformations and dislocations were incorporated in the samples of Ni0.15Co3.85Sb12 and Fe0.2Ni0.15Co3.65Sb12 after HPHT. Electrical and thermal transport properties were meticulously researched in the temperature range of 300 K to 700 K. The Fe0.2Ni0.15Co3.65Sb12 sample shows a lower thermal conductivity than that of Ni0.15Co3.85Sb12. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure-of-merit (zT) reaches the maximal values of 0.52 and 0.35 at 600 K and 700 K respectively, for Ni0.15Co3.85Sb12 and Fe0.2Ni0.15Co3.65Sb12 samples synthesized at 1 GPa.
