A series of polycrystalline (Ca1-xBix)3Co4O9 ( x = 0.0 ~ 0.075 ) powders were synthesized rapidly by a polyacrylamide gel method. The dense ceramics were fabricated using the spark plasma sintering ( SPS ) technique. Effects of Bi substitution on high temperature thermoelectric properties of Ca3Co4O9 were evaluated. Both the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient increased with increasing Bi content up to x = 0.05, thus leading to an enhanced thermoelectric power factor. The Bi substituted sample with x = 0.05 obtained in this study has the highest thermoelectric power factor in the measured temperature range. It reaches 4.810-4 Wm-1K-2 at 700 °C, which is 26 % higher than that of Ca3Co4O9 without Bi substitution, and is by up to 15 % larger as compared to the Bi substituted sample synthesized by the solid state reaction method and the SPS technique due to the high chemical homogeneous powder prepared by the polyacrylamide gel method.

AbstractThermoelectric properties of polycrystalline La0.75Sr0.25Co1-xMnxO3-δ(0<x<0.08) (LSCoO-Mn) compounds have been studied. The samples were grown by solid-state reaction method; their transport properties were studied in the temperature range between 100 and 290K, as a function of temperature and the manganese content. The Seebeck coefficient (S) is positive over the measured temperature range and its magnitude increases with the manganese content up to values close to 160 μV/K. The electrical resistivity (ρ) goes from metallic to semiconducting behavior as the Mn level increases, at room temperature, ρ(T) exhibit values less than 4mΩ-cm. From S(T), ρ(T) and κ(T) data, the thermoelectric power factor and the figure of merit were determined. These performance parameters reach maximum values around 18 μW/K2-cm and 0.2, respectively. The observed behavior in the transport properties become these compounds potential thermoelectric materials, which could be used in thermoelectric applications.

ABSTRACTMeasurements of Seebeck coefficient, S(T) and electrical resistivity, ρ(T) on polycrystalline La2−xSrxCuO4+d(LSCO) (0<x≤0.2) samples are reported. The Seebeck coefficient is positive in whole measured temperature range (77K and 300K) and it decreases with Sr content. At room temperature S(T) changes from 400 μ/K for the samples with the lowest levels of Sr to 30 μV/K for the samples with the highest Sr levels. The behavior of S(T) fits to Heikes model, which describes the behavior of Seebeck coefficient in systems where the correlated hopping is present. With the Sr content, the electrical resistivity changes its behavior from semiconducting to metallic and it took values from 2.4 to 10−3Ωcm. From S(T) and rho(T) measurements the thermoelectric power factor, PF was obtained. The maximum values for PF were about 5 μW/K2cm in the samples where x= 0.03, which are comparable to the typical values for conventional thermoelectric semiconductors. The structural and morphological properties of the samples were studied by x-ray diffraction analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) respectively. The behavior of transport properties opens de possibility of considering this family of perovskite-compounds as a thermoelectric material which works below room temperature.
