The thermoelectric and magnetic properties of the Ca3Co4-xCuxO9+delta system where x = 0, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10, and 0.15 were investigated as materials of this type have potential for use in thermoelectric generators. The goal of this work was to identify the sample in this system having the highest thermoelectric figure of merit. To accomplish this, a high thermopower, a high thermal voltage, a low resistivity, and a low thermal conductivity were required. It ...
Calcium is partially substituted by bismuth in the Ca3-xBixCoO9+delta (x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.30) system in order to determine how this substitution affects the thermoelectric and magnetic properties of the system. It was determined that the system had a positive thermopower, and thus the main carriers were holes. A maximum thermoelectric figure of merit of 0.091 was achieved with the Ca2.7Bi0.3CoO9+delta sample. The magnetic property test results indicated that ...
Thermoelectric materials are currently being researched as a source of energy in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The efficiency of these materials depends on their Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity, as well as the absolute temperature. Cobalt oxides (Ca3Co4O9+delta) have been researched extensively as potential thermoelectric materials because of their high Seebeck coefficient and low electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. Systems have been studied ...
