In this paper, structural, electronic, thermal, and thermoelectric properties of Al0.25B0.75As alloy, under pressures 0 GPa, 4 GPa and 8 GPa, have been calculated. The value of band gap at present work under 0 GPa, with GGA(PBE) exchange-correlation potential, is very close to other works with TB-mBJ method. This is a result of equal selection of muffin-tin radius spheres that are bigger than usual size for Al and B atoms. The values of band gap decrease by increasing pressure. In thermal properties, phonon contribution of heat capacity at constant volume and Debye temperature have been calculated in the range of 0K to 1000K temperatures and under 0 GPa, 4 GPa and 8 GPa pressures. Thermoelectric properties, under the same pressures and in the range of 100K to 1000K temperatures have been investigated.

The present review is mainly focused on the extended analysis of the results obtained from coupled measurement techniques of a thermal imaging camera and chronoamperometry for imines in undoped and doped states. This coupled technique allows to identify the current-voltage characteristics of thin films based on imine, as well as to assess layer defects in thermal images. Additional analysis of results provides further information regarding sample parameters, such as resistance, conductivity, thermal resistance, and Joule power heat correlated with increasing temperature. As can be concluded from this review, it is possible not only to study material properties at the supramolecular level, but also to tune macroscopic properties of -conjugated systems. A detailed study of the structure-thermoelectrical properties in a series of eight unsymmetrical and symmetrical imines for the field of optoelectronics and photovoltaics has been undertaken. Apart from this molecular engineering, the imines properties were also tuned by supramolecular engineering via protonation with camphorsulfonic acid and by creation of bulk-heterojunction compositions based on poly(4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-4,6-diyl) and/or [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) towards the analysed donor or acceptor ability of imines in the active layer. The use of coupled measurement techniques of a thermal imaging camera and chronoamperometry allows obtaining comprehensive data on thermoelectric properties and defects indicating possible molecule rearrangement within the layer.

The electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of MoS2 nano-sheet in presence of the ru impurity have been calculated by density functional theory framework with generalized gradient approximation. The MoRuS2 nano-sheet electronic structure was changed to the n-type semiconductor by 1.3 eV energy gap. The optical coefficients were shown that the loosing optical energy occurred in the higher ultraviolet region, so this compound is a promising candidate for optical sensing in the infrared and visible range. The thermoelectric behaviors were implied to the good merit parameter in the 100K range and room temperatures and also has high amount of power factor in 600K which made it for power generators applications.

The dispersion of nanoparticles in the host matrix is a novel approach to enhance the thermoelectric performance. In this work, we incorporate the TiC (x = 0, 1 and 2 wt.%) nanoparticles into a p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 matrix, and their effects on microstructure and thermoelectric properties were systematically investigated. The existence of TiC contents in a base matrix was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. The grain size decreases with increasing the addition of TiC content due to grain boundary hardening where the dispersed nanoparticles acted as pinning points in the entire matrix. The electrical conductivity significantly decreased and the Seebeck coefficient was slightly enhanced, which attributes to the decrease in carrier concentration by the addition of TiC content. Meanwhile, the lowest thermal conductivity of 0.97 W/mK for the 2 wt.% TiC nanocomposite sample, which is ~16% lower than 0 wt.% TiC sample. The maximum figure of merit of 0.90 was obtained at 350 K for the 0 wt.% TiC sample due to high electrical conductivity. Moreover, the Vickers hardness was improved with increase the addition of TiC contents.

Nanostructured thermoelectric materials receiving great attention for its high thermoelectric performance. In this research, nanostructured n-type Bi2 Te2.7 Se0.3 alloys have prepared using high energy ball milling and followed by spark plasma sintering. Also, we have varied ball milling time to investigate milling time parameter on the thermoelectric properties of n-type Bi2 Te2.7 Se0.3 powder. The powders were discrete at 10 min milling and later particles tend to agglomerate at higher milling time due to cold welding. The bulk fracture surface display multi-scale grains where small grains intersperse in between large grains. The maximum Seebeck coefficient value was obtained at 20-min milling time due to their lower carrier density. The κ values were decreased with increasing milling time due to the decreasing trend observed in their κL values. The highest ZT of 0.7 at 350 K was observed for 30-min milling time which was ascribed to its lower thermal conductivity. The Vickers hardness values also greatly improved due to their fine microstructure.

In this work, p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 alloys were fabricated by high-energy ball milling (MA) and spark plasma sintering. Different revolutions per minute (RPM)s were used in the MA process, and their effect on microstructure, and thermoelectric properties of p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 were systematically investigated. The crystal structure of milled powders and sintered samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction. All the powders exhibited the same morphology albeit with slight differences find at 1100 RPM conditions. A slight grain size refinement was observed on the fracture surfaces from 500 to 1100 RPM specimens. The temperature dependence of Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and power factors were measured as a function of temperature with different RPM conditions. The power factor shows almost same (~3.5 W/mK2 at RT) for all samples due to unchanged Seebeck and electrical conductivity values. The peak ZT of 1.07 at 375K is obtained for 1100 RPM specimen due to low thermal conductivity.

In this study, p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 based nanocomposites with addition of different weight percentages of Ga2O3 nanoparticles are fabricated by mechanical milling and spark plasma sintering. The fracture surfaces of all Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 nanocomposites exhibited similar grain distribution on the entire fracture surface. The Vickers hardness is improved for the Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 nanocomposites with 6 wt% added Ga2O3 due to exhibiting fine microstructure, and dispersion strengthening mechanism. The Seebeck coefficient of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 nanocomposites are significantly improved owing to the decrease in carrier concentration. The electrical conductivity is decreased rapidly upon the addition of Ga2O3 nanoparticle due to increasing carrier scattering at newly formed interfaces. The peak power factor of 3.24 W/mK2 is achieved for the base Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 sintered bulk. TheBi0.5Sb1.5Te3 nanocomposites show low power factor than base sample due to low electrical conductivity.

TAGS-90 compound powder was directly prepared from the elements by high-energy ball milling (HEBM) and subsequently consolidated by a spark plasma sintering (SPS). Effect of milling time on the microstructure and thermoelectric properties of the samples were investigated. The particle size of fabricated powders were decreased with increasing milling time, finally fine particles with ~1μm size was obtained at 90 min. The SPS samples exhibited higher relative densities (>99%) with fine grain size. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and energy dispersion analysis (EDS) results revealed that all the samples were single phase of GeTe with exact composition. The electrical conductivity of samples were decreased with milling time, whereas Seebeck coefficient increased over the temperature range of RT~450°C. The highest power factor was 1.12×10-3 W/mK2 obtained for the sample with 90 min milling at 450°C.

Content available remote Assessment of Co(II), Co(III) and Co(IV) Content in Thermoelectric Cobaltites
EN
The precise content of cobalt at a given oxidation state in layered sodium or calcium cobaltites is crucial for their thermoelectric performance and stability at elevated temperature. The paper presents results of searching for an effective method of measuring cobalt ions concentration coexisting at various oxidation state in a solid state. Application of the specific properties of reagents gave possibility to determine Co3+ concentration in the presence of Co4+ by the wet chemical methods. The accuracy and usefulness of the method was checked by comparison of the results from independent measurement of the total cobalt content and sum of the cobalt concentration at various oxidation state. It has been found that separate concentration of cobalt at a various valence state can be precisely measured if no Co3O4 was present in the synthesized powders.

Dokładne oznaczenie zawartości kobaltu na danym stopniu utlenienia w warstwowych kobaltanach sodowych lub wapniowych ma zasadnicze znaczenie dla ich sprawności jako materiału termoelektrycznego oraz stabilności w podwyższonmej temperaturze. Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań nad znalezieniem skutecznej metody oznaczania stezenia jonów kobaltu wystepujących obok siebie na różnym stopniu utlenienia w stanie stałym. Wykorzystanie szczególnych właściwości reagentów umożliwiło oznaczenie stężenia Co3+ obok Co4+ metodą analizy w fazie ciekłej. Dokładność i powtarzalność metody została potwierdzona przez porównanie wyników niezależnych pomiarów całkowitej zawartości kobaltu i sumowania zawartości kobaltu na różnych stopniach utlenienia w tych samych próbkach. Stwierdzono, że precyzyjne oznaczenie zawartości kobaltu na różnych stopniach utlenienia jest możliwe jeśli w próbce nie występuje Co3O4 w syntetyzowanych proszkach.

Temperature-dependent transport properties of p-type Ge-Sb-V films prepared by the pulse magnetron sputtering technique have been studied. Doping of Ge by Sb and V and post-deposition annealing in air atmosphere at 823 or 923 K were the necessary preconditions of obtaining enhanced p-type conduction and considerable high values of Seebeck coefficient ranging from 400 to 160 µV/K. The temperature of post-deposition annealing and V content were taken as varying parameters to observe any variations in temperature dependent resistivity and thermoelectric power in the film and tried to explain the electrical transport mechanism therefrom. The structural analysis showed that films 3 µm thick remained microcrystalline and the variable range hopping (VRH) in three dimension system was dominant mechanism for d.c. charge transport.

Analizowano temperaturowo zależne własności transportu warstw Ge-Sb-V, otrzymywanych techniką impulsowego rozpylania magnetronowego, wykazujących przewodnictwo typu p. Domieszkowanie Sb i V germanu i starzenie po wytworzeniu w atmosferze powietrza przy 823 lub 923 K było warunkiem koniecznym otrzymania przewodnictwa typu p i bardzo dużej wartości współczynnika Seebecka od 400 do 160 µV/K. Temperaturę wygrzewania warstw po nanoszeniu i zawartość wanadu w warstwie przyjęto jako zmienne parametry do badania wpływu na zachowanie się rezystywności i siły termoelektrycznej w funkcji temperatury i na tej podstawie próbowano określić mechanizm transportu nośników w warstwach. Analiza struktury wykazała, że warstwy o grubości około 3 µm pozostają mikrokrystaliczne oraz, że dominującym mechanizmem transportu nośników dla prądu stałego był trójwymiarowy hopping zmienno-zasięgowy (VHR).

The results of investigations concerning the structural and the thermoelectric properties of Ge-Au sputtered films under pulsed voltage operation of magnetron are described. The film properties are discussed as a function of doping with gold (2 and 5 at%)and the substrate temperature during deposition (360-1040 K). The structure and phase composition of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction method. It has been found that almost all as-deposited films were policrystaline and contained crystallites of both Ge and Au phases. The Seeback coefficient and the electrical conductivity were observed to increase with increasing substrate temperature during sputtering. It was connected with the increase in the crystallite dimensions of both Ge and Au phases.
