Effect of Transition-Metal Cobalt Doping on the Thermoelectric Performance of In2O3 Ceramics
The polycrystalline In2O3 ceramics doped with cobalt were prepared through the spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. Both thermoelectric transport properties and microstructure of the ceramics were investigated. The Co-doped In2O3 by SPS had a remarkable effect on the transport properties. Large electrical conductivity and thermopower was observed in dilute Co-doped sample. The maximum power factor were found in In1.98Co0.02O3 sample as 4.6 x 10-4 W center dot(m center dot K2)-1 at 1073 K with the ZT value up to 0.26.
