NaxCo2O4 with a laminar structure is a promising thermoelectric oxide having anisotropic thermoelectric property. An excellent thermoelectric performance equivalent to the single crystal is expected to be attainable in the polycrystalline body of this material by improvement of crystal orientation. It will be effective for controlling the crystal orientation to separate CoO2 nanosheets from the polycrystalline body and to pile them up for making highly orientated layers. This study aims at preparation of the CoO2 nanosheets. First, samples of NaxCo2O4 were synthesized. The interlayer Na+ ions were removed from the CoO2 layers of the synthesized powder by an acid treatment. The interlayer distance of the synthesized and the Na+ ion removed samples was measured by XRD analysis. The removal efficiency of Na+ ions was evaluated from ICP measurement. The morphology of the samples was observed by a SEM. We found that the condition of the acid treatment greatly influences the removal efficiency of Na+ ions in the synthesized NaxCo2O4.

The cobalt-antimony skutterdite compounds have relatively high power factor at around 380 oC, but they have relatively high thermal conductivity. Nanostructuring is expected to lower the lattice thermal conductivity by phonon scattering on the grain boundary, improving the thermoelectric performance of the materials. In this study, we aim at synthesizing CoSb3 thermoelectric nanoparticles by using polyol process for constructing the nanostructural body of the materials. The polyol process that synthesizes nanoparticles is one of liquid-phase process using polyol as a solvent. The CoSb3 nanoparticles were syn-thesized in mole ratio of Co(OOCH3)·4H2O to SbCl3 of 1:4.5 at reaction temperature of 240 oC in the sol-vent of tetra ethylene glycol. The reaction products were characterized by XRD, EDX, SEM, and TEM. Extremely small particles with about 10 nm in diameter mainly existed in the reaction products. The minimum particle size was 3-5 nm. The nanoparticles were identified as the CoSb3 compounds.

The cobalt-skutterudite compounds are promising thermoelectric materials having relatively good thermoelectric properties with respect to the Seebeck coefficient and the electrical resistivity over the temperature range between 500 and 800K. The high thermal conductivity of the materials, however, prevents from achieving high thermoelectric performance. In this study, we attempted to disperse the fullerene particles uniformly into the cobalt-skutterudite compounds for decreasing the lattice thermal conductivity by phonon scattering. The influence of the fullerene addition on the thermoelectric properties was investigated with respect to both of the n-type non-filled and filled cobalt-skutterudite compounds. The n-type lanthanum-filled cobalt-skutterudite compound was synthesized via the route of mechanical alloying-pulse discharge sintering process. In both of the non-filled and the filled skutterudite samples, the thermal conductivity was decreased with the addition of fullerene. For the non-filled skutterudite, though the electrical resistivity of the samples was increased with the addition of fullerene, the thermoe-lectric performance was improved.

Bismuth antimony telluride has the best performance among the p-type thermoelectric materials used in the range of temperature between 300K and 500K. This material has a trigonal-hexagonal scalenohedral crystal structure and the cleavage parallel to the basal plane of the crystal can readily occur. Suppression of the electrical resistivity and the thermal conductivity will be effective for further
improvement of the performance of the thermoelectric elements made from this material. The compressive torsion forming is the severe plastic deformation technique, in which the loads of compression and distortion are simultaneously subjected to the materials without change in its shape. In this work, we applied this technique to the powder of bismuth antimony telluride for consolidation and improvement of the thermoelectric performance by refining the grain structure and by controlling the crystal orientation. The samples consolidated under various forming conditions were investigated with respect to density, microstructure, XRD, texture, and thermoelectric properties. It was found out that the compressive torsion forming is effective for the microstructure control, the grain structure less than
10μm can be obtained, and the thermoelectric performance is
obviously improved by the compressive torsion forming.
