Abstract: | The effect of Ti and Ni substitution in LaCoO3−δ was investigated by means of electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient properties in a broad temperature range. The studied compounds crystallize in a rhombohedral crystal structure within the whole substitution range. The Seebeck coefficient of most of the studied compounds is positive indicating predominant hole-type charge carriers. The electrical resistivity decreases with increasing temperature for all compositions. Increasing the Ni content results in a decrease of the electrical resistivity, while the resistivity increases with increasing Ti content. The power factor, PF, for the Ni substituted samples is PF=1.42×10−4 W/m2 K for x=0.10 at and decreases with temperature. The LaCo1−xTixO3±δ compounds reveal an enhancement of the power factor with increasing temperature. Ti substitution leads to a higher power factor compared to that of Ni substitution at . |
