Abstract：

A　series　of　Yb-substituted　Ca1-xYbxMnO3　(x=0~0.2)　solutions　with　perovskite　structure　were　synthesized　via　sol-gel　and　non-pressure　sintering　method,　and　the　influence　of　Yb-doping　on　phase,　crystal　structure,　microstructure　and　thermoelectric　performance　were　investigated　systematically　based　on　X-ray　Rietveld　refinement,　SEM,　and　thermoelectric　properties　measuring　system.　The　refinement　showed　that　the　Yb-substitution　for　Ca　site　led　to　lattice　distortion　of　CaMnO3,　and　so　the　Mn-O2-Mn　angles　(distortion　of　oxygen-octahedron　parallel　to　ac　plane)　decreased　with　increasing　content　of　Yb.　Substituting　the　Ca　site　with　rare　earth　Yb　caused　a　strong　decrease　of　resistivity　and　changed　the　transport　characteristic;　Seebeck　coefficient　value　decreased　with　further　doping　of　Yb.　In　addition,　Yb-substitution　restrained　grain　growth　and　its　larger　mass　and　secondary　phase　decreased　thermal　conductivity.　As　a　result,　ZT　value　of　sample　with　x=0.1　reached　its　peak　of　0.093　at　700　K　which　was　about　120%　higher　than　CaMnO3.
