Abstract

The polycrystalline of sodium cobalt oxide (Na0.5CoO2) was synthesized by solid state reaction method and sintering method. The microstructure was composed of powder size and crystal structure. The Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity are measured. We found that the concentration of sodium ions sandwiched between two neighboring CoO2layers played a crucial role in transport properties. The results showed small particle size, single phase and orthorhombic structure. The Seebeck coefficient of Na0.5CoO2increased as the temperature increased. The electrical resistivity was decreased as temperature decreased from the range 300-500 K.
