Abstract: | Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Co1.8Ox thermoelectric ceramics with small Ag additions (0, 1, and 3 wt%) have been successfully grown from the melt, using the laser floating zone method. Microstructure has shown a reduction in the amount of secondary phases and a better grain alignment with respect to the growth direction for an Ag content of 3 wt%. The microstructural evolution, as a function of Ag content, is confirmed with the electrical resistivity values, which show an important decrease for the 3 wt% Ag samples, leading to maximum power factor values of about 0.42 mW/K2 m at 650 °C, which are among the best results obtained in this type of material. |
