Preparation and Thermoelectric Properties of Ca3Co4O9 Ceramics with Parallel Sheet Shaped Pores
Keyword(s):
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.
