제목 | Electronic Transport Properties of Te-doped CoSb3 Prepared by Encapsulated Induction Melting |
초록 | Te-doped CoSb3 skutterudites (CoSb3-yTey) [1,2] were prepared by encapsulated induction melting, and their thermoelectric and electronic transport properties were investigated. Single phase δ-CoSb3 was successfully obtained by the encapsulated induction melting and subsequent heat treatment at 773K for 24h. Secondary phases were not found until y is 0.3, indicating that all the Te atoms were soluble to the Co lattice sites. Te atoms acted as electron donors by substituting antimony atoms. Seebeck coefficients of all the samples showed negative values, and electrical resistivity decreased with increasing Te doping amount. Thermal conductivity was considerably reduced by doping due to the phonon scattering. Dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) was remarkably improved by the appropriate heat treatment and Te doping.
