Thermoelectric Properties of Lanthanum-Doped Europium Titanate

چکیده
The thermoelectric properties of lanthanum-doped polycrystalline perovskite-type europium titanate were measured from room temperature to 900K and compared to those of MTiO3 (M 1⁄4 Ca, Sr, Ba). The differences in the titanates were calculated in terms of the differences of A-site ion and Ti–O distance that determined the covalent bonding strength. The A-site ion appeared to have little influence on the electrical properties. The small Ti–O(Ti) distance results in strong bonding and it causes high thermal conductivity together with high electrical conductivity. Europium titanate showed power factor similar to and thermal conductivity lower than those of the strontium titanate. Eu0:9La0:1TiO3 showed the highest dimensionless figure of merit of 0.25 at 900K.

متن کاملMechanochemical synthesis and high temperature thermoelectric properties of calcium-doped lanthanum telluride La3xCaxTe4
The thermoelectric properties from 300–1275 K of calcium-doped La3 xTe4 are reported. La3 xTe4 is a high temperature n-type thermoelectric material with a previously reported zTmax B 1.1 at 1273 K and x = 0.23. Computational modeling suggests the La atoms define the density of states of the conduction band for La3 xTe4. Doping with Ca 2+ on the La site is explored as a means of modifying the de...
