Abstract

We investigated the physical properties of the cobalt doped layered oxyselenides BiCu1-xCoxSeO. 5% Co doping led to a large increase in the Seebeck coefficient which should be attributed to the magnetic interactions with the magnetic moment carried by Co atoms. The carrier-type of the material is changed from p-type to n-type with 20% Co doping. We studied the thermoelectric property of Bi0.95Ca0.05Cu0.95Co0.05SeO. The dual-doping sample exhibits higher Seebeck coefficient than Ca single doped sample and the ZT was enhanced remarkably. A maximum ZT value of 0.11 was achieved for Bi0.95Ca0.05Cu0.95Co0.05SeO at 300 K.
