Abstract
TaSb2, a candidate material for thermoelectric conversion, is studied to establish a method for the synthesis of polycrystalline bulk materials with a diameter greater than 10 mm. Polycrystalline TaSb2materials with relative densities exceeding 97% are successfully prepared by combining the solid‐state reaction method with the spark plasma‐sintering process. The prepared TaSb2sample is identified to be a semimetal with a pseudogap‐like electronic structure near the Fermi level using hard X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and band structure calculation.
