제목 Transport property of layered oxychalcogenide  for thermoelectric material
초록 The thermoelectric energy conversion technology, which can be used to convert wasted heat into electricity and to supply power for devices, has received much attention for several decades.[1] The efficiency of thermoelectric materials is characterized by the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT = (S2/ρκ)T, where S, ρ, κ, and T are Seebeck coefficient, electric resistivity, thermal conductivity, and the absolute temperature, respectively. Ideally, both of κ and S should be larger, while thermal conductivity should be smaller. (S, ρ, κ) are not independent variable, hence it is hard to find maximum values of ZT for a material. Recently, several classes of bulk materials with high ZT values have been discovered. Now, we have researched on a layered oxychalcogenide, which shows very low thermal conductivity and moderate Seebeck coefficient and electric conductivity. The main feature of the oxychalcogenide can be summarized as: the crystal structure constituted by (Cu2Ch2)2- layers alternately stacked with (Ln2O2)2+ layers along the c axis of thetetragonal cell. Figure 1 shows crystallographic structure of the oxychalcogenide with space group P4/mmn. One of the oxychalcogenide, BiCuSeO have been reported as a new material demonstrating a high ZT value of ~1.1 at 923 K with Ba doped.[2]
In this study, polycrystalline samples with chemical compositions LaCuSO, LaCuSeO, CeCuSO and BiCuSeO were synthesized by solid state reaction. Transport property of samples, ρ by four terminal method and κ and S by steady state method, were measured at T > 300 K. Both of BiCuSeO and LaCuSeO show similar ρ~0.68 Ωcm at 773 K. Absolute values of S for BiCuSeO are ~405 μV/K while LaCuSeO show far lower S at 373 K. The smallest κ of them are observed for CeCuSO at T = 300-700 K.
