Beneficial effect of Ni substitution on the thermoelectric properties in partially filled CayCo4−xNixSb12 skutterudites

Résumé

We have investigated the influence of nickel doping in a series of n-type CoSb3 skutterudite materials partially filled with Ca. The electrical resistivity, thermopower, and thermal conductivity have been measured in the 300–800 K temperature range on CayCo1−xNixSb12 compounds prepared by a powder metallurgy route. The chemical composition and structure have been analyzed by electron probe microanalyses and x-ray diffraction, respectively. It was found that the presence of nickel substantially decreases the electrical resistivity without any detrimental effect on the thermopower, resulting in an improvement of the power factor. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure ZT increases with increasing temperature and reaches a maximum value of 1 at 800 K.
