Thermoelectric properties of porous zinc oxide ceramics doped with praseodymium
Source abstract
Abstract
We evaluated praseodymium (Pr) doping effects on thermoelectric properties of porous zinc oxide (ZnO) ceramics. The low density ceramics composed of ZnO and an additive of Pr (0.5 and 0.1 mol%) oxide were prepared by sintering processes in different atmospheres (air and oxygen), where the additives were Pr6O11 known for phase transformations and the trioxide Pr2O3 with low valence state different from Pr6O11. Thermoelectric properties of the samples were measured between 313 K and 903 K. At high-temperature around 590 K, some samples showed a maximum of electrical resistivity. We discussed the origin of the maximum on the basis of carrier transport model on gas sensor and varistor. From the results, The maximum appearance was attributable to an interchange of carriers through defects complex closely related with enhanced zinc vacancies acceptor-like in the vicinity of grain boundaries (GB), where the defect complex seemed to be caused by Pr with valence state between 3+ and 3.78+ around GB. The doping Pr into ZnO matrix is expected to be advantageous to improve thermoelectric power.
