Hydrothermal methods were used to synthesize nanoplatelets of Bi2-xSbxTe3. In this article, the electrical conductivity, thermopower, and thermal conductivity were the temperature-dependent transport parameters that were determined to calculate the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT. ...
The thermoelectric properties of Ca3-xYbxCo3.95Ga0.05O9+delta where x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10 were determined at temperatures less than 300 K. It was determined that the partial substitution of Yb3+ for Ca2+ resulted in an increase in resistivity and thermopower. The thermal conductivity was found to ...
The thermoelectric properties of the co-doped misfit-layered cobaltites of Ca3-xAgxCo3.95Fe0.05O9+delta (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were investigated at temperatures between 300 and 700 K. It was found that the thermopower increased with increasing temperature. The thermal conductivity was found to increase with increasing Ag+ content in ...
The thermoelectric properties of the Ca1-xGdxMnO3-delta system where x= 0.00, 0.02, and 0.05 were evaluated. It was determined that the sample with the lowest electrical resistivity was the Ca0.95Gd0.05MnO3-delta sample. This result was attributed to the increase content of Mn3+ in the Mn4+ ...
Bi2-xSbxTe3 thermoelectric materials, where x = 1.52 and 1.55 were prepared and evaluated for their thermoelectric properties. Three samples in total were prepared, two with x = 1.52 and 1.55 were synthesized at 140oC and one with x = 1.55 was synthesized at 160 oC. It was determined that the two samples synthesized ...
