AbstractDuring the last decade oxide-based thermoelectric materials have received increased attention due to their high stability and thermal robustness at high temperatures as well as the availability and nontoxic nature of a number of promising candidates. In the present study we are investigating the thermoelectric properties of an n-type La-substituted SrTiO

Ag1-xPbmSbTe2+m (m = 6, 10, 18; x = 0, 0.5, 0.75) compounds were prepared by melting-spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The effects of m and x on the thermoelectric properties of the compounds were investigated. The results indicate that all samples are n-type conduction. For Ag1-xPb18SbTe20 (x = 0, 0.5, 0.75), the electrical conductivity decreases, whereas Seebeck coefficient increases, with increasing Ag concentration. For AgPbmSbTe2+m (m = 6, 10, 18), as m increases, the Seebeck coefficient slightly decreases and the electrical conductivity increases first, with a maximum at m =10, and then decreases. The thermal conductivity increases with increasing m.

The p-type skutterudite compounds of ( Pr 0.25 Nd 0.75)x Fe 3 CoSb 12 (x = 0.67–0.78) have been successfully synthesized by levitation melting followed by annealing and spark plasma sintering. The thermoelectric properties have been characterized by the measurements of Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity in the temperature range from 300 K to 850 K. The improvement in the thermoelectric properties was realized due to the reduction in the lattice thermal conductivity when the voids were partially filled by Pr 0.25 Nd 0.75. The maximum ZT value of ~ 0.83 for ( Pr 0.25 Nd 0.75)0.76 Fe 3 CoSb 12 was obtained at 700 K.

N-type Bi2Te3 based thermoelectric compound was prepared by spark plasma sintering with a temperature range of 340~460°C and powder size of ~75㎛, 76~150㎛, 151~250㎛. Thermoelectric properties of the compound were measured as a function of the sintering temperature and powder size. With increasing sintering temperature, the electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity of the compound greatly changed because of the increase in relative density. The Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity were varied largely with increasing powder size. Therefore, the compound sintered at 460°C, with the powder of ~75㎛, showed a figure of merit of 2.44 x 10-3/K. Also, the bending strength was 75MPa.

AbstractWe report the thermoelectric properties of poly-grain Al–Pd–Re icosahedral quasicrystals and discuss an effect of improvement of their microstructure. The improvement of microstructure by using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method resulted into a large increase of the electrical conductivity but less increase of the thermal conductivity. The relative density dramatically increased up to more than 90% by SPS. On the other hand, the microstructure itself does not have critical influence on the Seebeck coefficient, which is found to be strongly correlated with

Thermoelectric properties of high energy ball milled nano structured bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) have been reported. By high energy ball milling, alloyed bulk crystalline ingots crush into nanopowder and followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS), we have demonstrate high figure of merit (ZT) in bismuth telluride pellet samples. In this work systematic study carried out on three pellet samples of Bi2Te3, synthesized by high ball milling for the time period of 4 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours and followed by SPS at the same processing parameters. A peak value of dimensionless figure of merit of about 1.22 at the temperature of 473 K has been achieved for 8 hours ball milled pellet sample. This enhancement in ZT value is mostly due to decrease in thermal conductivity. Results of this study demonstrate that ball milling and SPS has a major effect in controlling the density of grain boundaries of Bi2Te3 nano particles, while the pressure exerted on the powder samples during SPS introduce stress at the boundaries of the crystallites. These disordered crystallite boundary regions exert scattering of thermal energy carriers which reduced the thermal conductivity of the materials.

The Nd-doped SrO(SrTiO3)n (n=1,2) bulk samples were prepared by combining a sol-gel method and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructures of the precursor powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The oxides of (Sr1-xNdx)n+1TinO3n+1(n=1,2;x=0.05, 0.1) were prepared by solid-state reaction of the precursor powders with post-spark plasma sintering for the first time and the thermoelectric properties showed that electrical resistivity ρ and the absolute values |S| of Seebeck coefficient increased with temperature and depended on the dopant concentration, indicating a n-type degenerate semiconductor behavior. Compared with the total thermal conductivity κ (4.1-5.2 Wm-1K-1) at room temperature, the estimated electronic thermal conductivity κe(0.2-0.7 Wm-1K-1) were very small, indicating that lattice contribution was predominant in the RP phase compounds. The largest dimensionless figure of merit ZT, 0.13 at 905K, was obtained the 10 at.% Nd-doped Sr3Ti2O7. This synthetic method provides a simple way to prepare thermoelectric oxides.
