Effects of praseodymium doping on thermoelectric transport properties of CaMnO3 compound system

The rare earth Pr doped Ca1-x Prx MnO3(x=0,0.06,0.08,0.1,0.12,and 0.14) compound bulk samples were prepared to study the effect of Pr doping on thermoelectric transport properties of CaMnO3 compound system.The doped samples exhibited single phase composition within the experimental doping range,with condensed bulk microstructure and small porosities.The electrical resistivity was remarkably reduced for doped samples,on account of the enhanced carrier concentration;the absolute value of Seebeck coefficient was deteriorated mainly due to enhanced electron carrier concentration.The electrical performances of the doped samples reflected by resistivity and Seebeck coefficient fluctuations were optimistically tuned,with an optimized power factor value of 0.342 mW/(m·K2) at 873 K for x=0.08 sample,which was very much higher comparing with that of the un-doped sample.The lattice thermal conduction was really confined,leading to distinctly repressed total thermal conductivity.The thermoelectric performance was noticeably improved by Pr doping and the dimensionless figure of merit ZT for the Ca0.92 Pr0.08 MnO3 compound was favorably optimized with the maximum value 0.16 at 873 K.

Preparation and thermoelectric transport properties of Ba-, La- and Ag- doped Ca3Co4O9 oxide materials

The Ba-, La- and Ag-doped polycrystalline Ca2.9M0.1Co4O9 (M=Ca, Ba, La, Ag) thermoelectric bulk samples were prepared via citrate acid sol-gel synthesis method followed by spark plasma sintering technique. The bulk samples were characterized and analyzed with regard to their phase compositions, grain orientations as well as microstructures. The high temperature thermoelectric transport properties of the bulk samples were studied in detail. All bulk samples were found to be single-phased with modified body texture. The electrical resistivity was modulated as a result of carrier concentration modification, however the carrier transport process was not influenced; the Seebeck coefficient was deteriorated simultaneously. The total thermal conductivity was remarkably reduced, on account of the decreasing of phonon thermal conductivity. The thermoelectric properties of the Ba-, La-, and Ag-doped bulk samples were optimized, and the Ba-doped Ca2.9Ba0.1Co4O9 system was found to have the highest dimensionless figure of merit ZT0.20 at 973K, which was remarkably higher than that of the un-doped sample.
