Abstract
In the present study, the TiO2-Ti compacts with Magneli phases TinO2n-1 were fabricated using the mixed powder of TiO2 powder and addition Ti powder by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The composition and the crystal types of Magneli phases TinO2n-1 were examined. The results showed that various Magneli phases TinO2n-1 (single or multi Magneli phases) with the composition of Ti1+yO2-x were obtained. The Magneli phases TinO2n-1 were formed in the transformation from the mother phase rutile TiO2 to TiO with increase in Ti addition fraction. In addition, the thermoelectric properties of the sintered compacts were also measured. The electrical resistivity of the sintered compacts decreased with increase in Ti addition fraction. The thermoelectric performance of the sintered compacts was improved by the formation of Magneli phases TinO2n-1 with the composition of Ti1+yO2-x.
