Thermal durability of CoSb3 in vacuum, helium and air was investigated over the temperature range 20–850 °C. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) X-ray powder diffraction technique were used to investigate microstructure carry out phase analysis degradation products. The a non-isothermal isothermal decomposition oxidation powders polycrystalline samples performed using simultaneous TG/DTA technique. More detailed studies carried on 400–600 It established that products are CoSb2 volatile...
The thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties of polycrystalline InxCo4Sb12 (0.0 ⩽ x 0.26) skutterudites were investigated analysed between 2 800 K by means electrical resistivity, thermopower, thermal conductivity specific heat measurements. Hall effect, sound velocity expansion measurements also made in order to gain insights into the transport elastic these compounds. impact In filling on crystal structure as well dynamics atoms tracked down 4 using powder neutron diffraction...
The aim of the work was to obtain copper (I) selenide Cu2Se material with excellent thermoelectric properties, synthesized using hydrothermal method and densified by spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. Chemical phase composition studies were carried out X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM) methods.

High temperature corrosion of thermoelectric materials is one the most important issues linked with their application for power generation, especially in terrestrial conditions. The high chemical affinity elements composing material to oxygen results continuous degradation at temperatures state-of-the-art materials. This issue also well recognized case antimonide skutterudites. simplest way protect against this process use coatings. Complicated geometry module favors coatings that can be...
Zintl phases have recently been identified as potential thermoelectric materials typified by the discovery of a high figure merit in Yb14MnSb11 compound above 1000 K. We report on synthesis and properties measurements over wide temperature range (300–1000 K) other exhibiting complex crystalline structure, namely, Mo3Sb7 its related compounds Mo3−xRuxSb7. While binary displays low values due to metallic nature, we show that partial substitution Mo Ru significantly improves value reach 0.45 at...

High efficiency segmented thermoelectric unicouples STUs made of Bi2Te3 and CoSb3-based alloys have been developed. The performance parameters elements at selected temperatures ranging from 288 to 673K were tested on the constructed set-up. Characterization electrical resistances contacts materials was by a scanning microprobe (STM). extended numerical model STU, which takes into account i.e. thermal effects junctions, as well as, inside segments (Thomson effect) results calculations...
In the type I clathrates Ba8TM x Ga y Ge46–x–y (TM = group 10 to 12 elements) where some of Ge framework atoms are substituted by Zn, Cu or Ag, transition-metal elements prefer occupy 6c site. Preliminary band-structure calculations showed that this substitution implies modification electronic bands in vicinity energy gap. By appropriate tailoring band structure, improved thermoelectric properties can be obtained. More detailed full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method...
