Introduction: Harvesting the waste heat emitted from the activities of humanity based on thermoelectric devices is an appropriate way to reduce the overconsumption of fossil fuel nowadays. Methods: In this work, CuCr0:85Mg0:15O2 compounds prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method were investigated to find out that the short sintering time is enough for thermoelectric applications, directly low the cost of the devices. Results and Conclusion: We find out that there is a significant change in the crystal structure, the chemical state, and thermoelectric properties along with the increase of the sintering time, but eventually, the dimensionless figure of merit ZT is almost constant regardless of the long or short sintering time which means that the increase of electrical conductivity will compromise the increase of thermal conductivity. The highest ZT value is 0.03 measured at 500 oC for both samples prepared at the sintering time of 3 and 12 hours.

Thermoelectric properties have been investigated for Sr0.5Ca0.5Ti1-xMnxO3 (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) and Sr0.75Ca0.25Ti0.75Mn0.25O3 perovskite polycrystalline samples synthesized by solid-state reaction method. Following physical properties such as thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, power factor and figure of merit (ZT) were measured. The substitution of Ca2+ in Sr2+ site or/and mixed valence Mn in Ti site creates appreciable enhancement in the thermoelectric properties with an increase of ZT from 0.5 to 0.69 at room temperature. The origin for the enrichment of ZT of the investigated samples around room temperature is due to substitution induced distortion in the cubic lattice.

The effects of Pb doping on the thermoelectric (TE) properties of Yb 1-x Pb x BaCo4O7+δ (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1) ceramic samples prepared by the solid-state reaction method were investigated from 383 K to 973 K. The results showed that with increase of the Pb content, the electrical resistivity decreased remarkably, meanwhile the Seebeck coefficient decreased slightly, resulting in an enhancement of the power factor (PF). The effect of Pb doping on the thermal conductivity was insignificant. According to the PF and the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) value, the optimum Pb doping content was x = 0.08. The ZT value reached 0.12 at 973 K, being 69.5% higher than that of the sample without Pb doping.

Cu doped Bi1.5Pb0.5Sr1.8La0.2Co2-xCuxOy(x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4) samples were prepared through the solid state reaction method. The influence of different Cu doping contents on electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficients, thermal conductivity, and the dimensionless figure of meritZTwas investigated. All the samples of Cu concentration 0.4 are single phases. The electrical resistivity of Bi1.5Pb0.5Sr1.8La0.2Co1.8Cu0.2Oydescends, and itsZTvalues are enhanced obviously. The results show that suitable element doping can modify the electric transport properties and enhance thermoelectric properties of materials.

Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 samples have been sintered in temperature range of 1183–1243 K by conventional solid-state reaction method. XRD and SEM investigations show that c-axis-oriented structure could be formed in these samples and Lotgering factors increase with the increase of sintering temperature when it is below 1223 K, from 52% for the sample sintered at 1183 K to 86% for the sample sintered at 1223 K. Due to decomposition of Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9, however, the c-axis-oriented structure was destroyed in the sample sintered at 1243 K although Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 phase could be recovered at the cooling stage. The size of grains in all samples increases with the increase of sintering temperature, but the relative densities are almost kept unchanged for the samples sintered at the temperature higher than 1183 K. Due to the highly textured structure, the transport properties of the sample sintered at 1223 K are anisotropic and its ZT values in the ab plane are obviously larger than those along the c-axis.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Pure bismuth layered structural ceramics with uniform gain size were obtained in all samples. The effect of Gd-doping on the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 ceramics were also investigated. It was found that that Gd3+ dopant gradually decreased the Curie temperature (Tc) with the lower dielectric loss (tand) of SBTi ceramics. In addition, Gd-doping with appropriate content improved the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the SBTi ceramics. The piezoelectric constant (d33) of the Sr2Bi3.9Gd0.1Ti5O18 ceramic reached the maximum value, which is 22 pC/N. The results showed that the Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 ceramic was a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

Ce3+-doped 0.5La2O3-2SrO-0.5Al2O3 (LSA:Ce) phosphors had been successfully synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method under reducing atmosphere (H2/N2 =1/5). The phase, morphologies and luminescence properties of the LSA:Ce phosphors were investigated. The emission intensity of LSA:Ce phosphors was improved by the addition of SrF2 as flux, and red shift of PL spectra peak was observed in this phosphors. Research results shown that the LSA:Ce phosphors have the potential to meet the development of white light-emitting diodes.

The influence of [Formula: see text] ion sizes on the electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficients, thermal conductivity and [Formula: see text] values of [Formula: see text] prepared by the solid-state reaction method was investigated from 373 K to 973 K. The electrical resistivity decreases with decreasing [Formula: see text] ion sizes. Both the electrical resistivity and the Seebeck coefficients have a transition at about 630 K. Especially, the transition phenomenon disappears gradually with decreasing [Formula: see text] ion sizes, and is attributed to the oxygen adsorption of [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] values increase with rising temperature or decreasing [Formula: see text] ion sizes. The [Formula: see text] with the smallest [Formula: see text] size has the maximum [Formula: see text] value that reaches 0.1 at 973 K.

ABSTRACTOwing to energy conservation of waste heat, Lead telluride, PbTe, based materials have promising good thermoelectric properties around a range of middle temperature (Fig. 1, from 300 to 600°C), due to their high melting point, fine chemical stability, and the high figure of merit Z. The general physical properties and factors affecting the figure of merit have been reviewed. This research is focused on the n-type of PbTe materials and collocated with analysis of densities, hardness, elastic modulus, and thermoelectric properties thermoelectric figure of merit ZT=GS2T/κ (where G is electrical conductivity, S is Seebeck coefficient , T is absolute temperature, and κ is thermal conductivity). Room temperature hardness and Young’s modulus are measured by nano-indentation. In this study, the hot-press compacts under the pressure of 4 ton/cm2 can reach the maximum density about 8.2 g/cm3, and hardness and elastic modulus are 0.6 GPa and 70 GPa, respectively. The figure of merit value (ZT) of PbTe in low temperature (around 340°C) was found about 1 with carrier concentration above 1019 cm−3. These results also indicate that the powder metallurgy parameters provide potentialities for further increase of the high efficiency of energy conversion in PbTe materials.
