Abstract
Skutterudite compounds Co 4Sb 12-xTe x (0.1 ≤ ×≤0.8) was synthesized successfully by high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) method and characterized with X-ray diffractometry and thermoelectric properties measurements. The samples prepared by HTHP are nearly with the single phase CoSb 3. The electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity were all depending on synthetic pressure and the Te content of the Skutterudite compounds were performed at room temperature. As our expected, the Seebeck coefficient increased with an increase of the synthetic pressure and the thermal conductivity decreased with an increase of the synthetic pressure. These results indicated that HTHP technique may be helpful to prepare thermoelectric materials with enhanced thermoelectric properties.
