Abstract:
The filled skutterudite compounds REy(Fe/Ni)xCo4-xSb12 (x=0-1.0, y=0-0.4) were synthesized by solid state reaction and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at 800-1000 K using the powders of Co, Sb, Fe, Ni and rare earth Ce and La as precursors. The effects of the kinds of filling and replacement atoms and the form of filling on the lattice thermal conductivity and thermo-electric property were discussed in this paper. The results indicate that the thermoconductivity is remarkably reduced by substituting Co with Ni and Fe, and Ni has a better effect on thermoconductivity in contrast with Fe. In addition, the lattice thermal conductivity is obviously decreased by filling with rare earth Ce and La into the Skutterudite structure. The decrease of lattice thermal conductivity is more effective by double fillings of Ce and La than single filling for the same filling fraction. The electric conductivity is decreasing and the Seebeck coefficient is increasing with the filling fraction of Ce and La increasing. The Skutterudite compound Ce0.1La0.2FeCo3Sb12 possesses the minimum thermal conductivity and the highest Seebeck coefficient with the highest ZT value of 0.6 at 800 K.
