The effect of Y filling fraction on thermoelectric properties of Yy Fex Co4-x Sb12 was investigated. All samples showed p-type conduct. The electrical conductivity decreased with increasing filling fraction y. The Seebeck coefficient inreased with increasing temperature. The lattice thermal conductivity decreased with increasing filling fraction y and showed the minimum value at a certain filling fraction y = 0.3. The effect of different filling atoms M（ M： Ba, Ce, Y） on the lattice thermal conductivity of MyFexCo4-xSb12 was discussed. The maximum ZT value of O. 7 was obtained for Y0.06 Fe0.7 Co3.3 Sb12 at 750 K.展开更多
The synthesis of filled skutterudite compounds (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12), through a solidstate reaction using chloride of Ce or Y,high purity powder of Co, Fe, and Sb as starting materials,was investigated. ...The synthesis of filled skutterudite compounds (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12), through a solidstate reaction using chloride of Ce or Y,high purity powder of Co, Fe, and Sb as starting materials,was investigated. (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12) (x=0--1.0, y=0--0.15) compounds were obtained at850--1 123 K. The results of Rietveld analysis demonstrate that (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_12synthesized by a solid state reaction possesses a filled skutterudite structure. The filling fraction ofCe or Y obtained by Rietveld analysis agrees well with the composition obtained by chemicalanalysis. The lattice constant of (Ce)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12) increases with increasing substitution of Fe at Cosites, and with an increasing Ce filling fraction in the Sb-dodecahedron voids. The lattice thermalconductivity of (Ce or Y)_y(Fe)_x(Co)_(4x)(Sb)_(12) decreases significantly with an increasing Ce or Y fillingfraction in the voids and with substitution of Fe at Co sites.展开更多
