A new approach to obtain calcium cobalt oxide by microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract This study describes the effect of microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis on the crystalline phase-formation, microstructural characteristics, and thermoelectric performance of Ca3Co4O9. Synthesis parameters, such as time, temperature, KOH concentration, and oxidation states of Co ions, to produce this compound, were studied. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the most critical parameters for the phase formation are the oxidation states of Co ions. Ca3Co4O9 can be obtained by microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis at 503 K for 30 min and thermal treatment at 1173 K for 120 min. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the sample exhibits randomly oriented particles with plate-like morphology and range size between 0.4 and 1.2 μm. From measurements of electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient, we obtained a figure of merit of ~0.008 at 300 K.
