摘要
SmxCo4Sb12 skutterudite compounds with different Sm addition contents (x = 0.1, 0.2. 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) have been synthesized via the route of high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). In addition, the effect of Sm filling on the thermoelectric properties of SmxCo4Sb12 compounds has been investigated in this paper. All SmxCo4Sb12 compounds exhibit n-type conduction. The temperature dependences of electrical resistivity. Seebeck coefficient have been measured on these compounds in the range of 300-711 K. The experimental results indicate that the Sm doping can help improve their power factors. Among all the samples, Sm0.1Co4Sb12 shows the highest power factor of 23.7 mu W cm(-1) K-2 at 568 K. The thermal conductivity of SmxCo4Sb12 measurements had been performed in the temperature range of 300-711 K. The thermal conductivity of SmxCo4Sb12 is significantly low compared to pure CoSb3. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT increased with increasing temperature in the range of 300-711 K and reached a maximum value of 0.55 for Sm0.1Co4Sb12 at 711 K.
