Synthesis and thermoelectric properties of filled skutterudite compounds CeyFexCo4−xSb12 by solid state reaction
Source abstract
Abstract
Filled skutterudite compounds, CeyFexCo4−xSb12(x= 0–1.0, y= 0–0.15), were synthesized by solid state reaction using Co, Fe, Sb and CeCl3· nH2O powders as source materials. The lattice constants of CeyFexCo4−xSb12increased with increasing substitution of Fe at Co sites and with increasing Ce filling fraction in the Sb-icosahedron voids. All specimens showed p-type conduction. Carrier concentration (p) and electrical conductivity (σ) increased with increasing substitution of Fe at Co sites and decreased with increasing Ce filling fraction. The Seebeck coefficient (α) decreased with increasing Fe content and increased with increasing Ce filling fraction. Thermal conductivity (κ) decreased with increasing substitution of Fe at Co sites and with increasing Ce filling fraction. A maximum ZTvalue of 0.8 was obtained for Ce0.12Fe0.71Co3.29Sb12at 750 K.
