The K, Ca, Sr and Ce doped and non-doped γ-NaxCo2O4 samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. Results show that the Na-site doping might lead to an increase in the Seebeck coefficient and a decrease in the electrical conductivity of the samples. The maximum power factors of the K, Ca and Sr doped samples are respectively 2.04, 1.93 and 1.9 W·m-1·K-2, corresponding to an increase by 58%, 50% and 47% compared with that of the non-doped samples. Thus, the Na-site doping can improve the thermoelectric properties of γ-NaxCo2O4 oxides.

The samples of La 1-x Ca x CoO 3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) were synthesized by solid state reaction method for studying thermoelectric properties. The properties of electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient were measured in the temperature ranging from room temperature to 573 K. The results of electrical conductivity was increasing Ca substitution. The highest value of electrical conductivity is 1574 S/cm. It is concluded that Ca 2+ doping in LaCoO 3 has the effect to inhibit Seebeck coefficient from decreasing.

Bi Doping

Ca 3-x Bi x Co 4 O 9(x = 0.0, 0.3) samples have been prepared at 1223 K by conventional solid-state reaction method. XRD and SEM investigations reveal that c-axis-oriented structure could be formed in Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 samples, whereas grains in Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 samples distribute randomly. Moreover, Bi doping increases the grain size and relative density of Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9. The electrical conductivity along the ab plane for Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 is about four times as large as that along the c-axis, but the Seebeck coefficient is almost isotropic, which leads to a remarkable rise of the power factor in ab plane for Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 compared with untextured Ca 3 Co 4 O 9. The textured structure in Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 sample should be attributed to the effect of Bi doping.

Reaction Method

Ca3Co4O9 powders were synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. Porous Ca3Co4O9 ceramics with parallel sheet shaped pores were prepared by a template sacrifice method using epispastic polystyrend (EPS) hollow spheres as the templates. During compaction of the green body, the EPS hollow spheres change into EPS discs due to the pressing force. After sintering, the pores in the Ca3Co4O9 ceramics are sheet shaped, well distributed and parallel to the pressing surface of compaction. The value of ZT merit of the porous Ca3Co4O9 sample obtained with 10 wt% EPS spheres is 0.0489. It was found that the ZT merit value can be improved by changing the density of sample to achieve a high ratio of electrical conductivity to thermal conductivity.

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.
