Thermoelectric properties of RE 2− x M x CuO 4 oxide sintering bulks

La 2− x Sr x CuO 4 (LSCO) and Sm 2− x Ce x CuO 4 (SCCO) polycrystal bulks with x =0 to 0.10 were made by solid‐phase reaction method. From the X‐ray diffraction patterns, LSCO and SCCO were confirmed single phase. Seebeck coefficient, resistivity, and heat conductivity decreased with increasing amou...

Zusammenfassung:La 2− x Sr x CuO 4 (LSCO) and Sm 2− x Ce x CuO 4 (SCCO) polycrystal bulks with x =0 to 0.10 were made by solid‐phase reaction method. From the X‐ray diffraction patterns, LSCO and SCCO were confirmed single phase. Seebeck coefficient, resistivity, and heat conductivity decreased with increasing amount of Sr 2+ and Ce 2+ substitution. We estimated ZT from these values and found that the highest value of ZT =0.034 at 323 K was achieved in the LSCO with x =0.02. As a result, we conclude that LSCO and SCCO showed high thermoelectric properties around room temperature. We can expect RE 2− x M x CuO 4 will be a very useful material for thermoelectric module operating at room temperature. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
