Effect of carbon nanotubes addition on thermoelectric properties of Ca3Co4O9 ceramics

Increasing the phonon scattering center by adding nanoparticles to thermoelectric materials is an effective method of regulating the thermal conductivity. In this study, a series of Ca$_{3}$Co$_{4}$O$_{9}/x$ wt.% CNTs ($x=0$, 3, 5, 7, 10) polycrystalline ceramic thermoelectric materials by adding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared with sol-gel method and cold-pressing sintering technology. The results of x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy show that the materials have a single-phase structure with high orientation and sheet like microstructure. The effect of adding carbon nanotubes to the thermoelectric properties of Ca$_{3}$Co$_{4}$O$_{9}$ was systematically measured. The test results of thermoelectric properties show that the addition of carbon nanotubes reduces the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of the material. Nevertheless, the thermal conductivity of the samples with carbon nanotubes addition is lower than that of the samples without carbon nanotubes. At 625 K, the thermal conductivity of Ca$_{3}$Co$_{4}$O$_{9}$/10 wt.% CNTs sample is reduced to 0.408 W$\cdot$m$^{-1}\cdot$K$^{-1}$, which is about 73% lower than that of the original sample. When the three parameters are coupled, the figure of merit of Ca$_{3}$Co$_{4}$O$_{9}$/3 wt.% CNTs sample reaches 0.052, which is 29% higher than that of the original sample. This shows that an appropriate amount of carbon nanotubes addition can reduce the thermal conductivity of Ca$_{3}$Co$_{4}$O$_{9}$ ceramic samples and improve their thermoelectric properties.     

Optimize the thermoelectric performance of CdO ceramics by doping Zn

The thermoelectric performance of CdO ceramics was enhanced by simultaneously optimizing the electrical and thermal transport properties via a small amount of Zn doping(≤3%). The introduction of Zn can obviously increase the electrical conductivity of CdO due to the simultaneous increase of carrier concentration and mobility, and eventually results in an improvement in power factor. Zn doping is also effective in suppressing the thermal conductivity of CdO because of stronger phonon scatterings from point defects, Zn-riched second phase, and grain boundaries. A best ZT of about 0.45 has been achieved in the Cd_(1-x)Zn_xO systems at about 1000 K, which is comparable to the highest values reported for other n-type oxide TE materials.     

Influences of spark plasma sintering temperature on the microstructures and thermoelectric properties of(Sr_(0.95)Gd_(0.05))TiO_3 ceramics

(Sr0.95Gd0.05)Ti O3(SGTO) ceramics are successfully prepared via spark plasma sintering(SPS) respectively at 1548,1648,and 1748 K by using submicron-sized SGTO powders synthesized from a sol–gel method.The densities,microstructures,and thermoelectric properties of the SGTO ceramics are studied.Though the Seebeck coefficient shows no obvious difference in the case that SPS temperatures range from 1548 K to 1648 K,the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity increase remarkably due to the increase in grain size and density.The sample has a density higher than 98%theoretical density as the sintering temperature increases up to 1648 K and shows average grain sizes increasing from～ 0.7 μm to 7 μm until 1748 K.As a result,the maximum of the dimensionless figure of merit of ～ 0.24 is achieved at～ 1000 K for the samples sintered at 1648 K and 1748 K,which was ～ 71% larger than that(0.14 at ～ 1000 K) for the sample sintered at 1548 K due to the enhancement of the power factor.     

Effect of Mn doping on the microstructures and photoluminescence properties of CBD derived ZnO nanorods

Mn-doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized from aqueous solutions of zinc nitrate hexahydrate, manganese nitrate and methenamine by the chemical solution deposition method (CBD). Their microstructures, morphologies and optical properties were studied in detail. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results illustrated that all the diffraction peaks can be indexed to ZnO with the hexagonal wurtzite structure. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results showed that the average diameter of Mn-doped ZnO nanorods was larger than that of the undoped one. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicated that manganese doping suppressed the emission intensity and caused the blue shift of UV emission position compared with the undoped ZnO nanorods. In the Raman spectrum of Mn-doped ZnO nanorods, an additional mode at about 525 cm⁻¹ appeared which was significantly enhanced and broadened with the increase of Mn doping concentration.     

Effect of Mg doping on the structural and dielectric properties of strontium titanate ceramics

The influence of Mg incorporation into A- and B-sites of the perovskite lattice of SrTiO₃ ceramics on the structural, microstructural and low-frequency dielectric properties is studied in this work. Compounds in the systems Sr_1-xMg_xTiO₃ and SrTi_1-yMg_yO_3- were synthesised by a conventional solid-state method. The solid solubility of Mg is restricted to x<1% for A-site occupancy (Sr_1-xMg_xTiO₃) and to y<15% for B-site occupancy (SrTi_1-yMg_yO_3-). The lattice parameter is found to increase with Mg content for the SrTi_1-yMg_yO_3- system, while it is almost invariant in the Sr_1-xMg_xTiO₃ one. The dependence on the lattice-site occupancy is also verified for the grain growth of ceramics. For SrTi_1-yMg_yO_3- the average grain size markedly decreases with increasing Mg content. For Sr_1-xMg_xTiO₃ the inverse dependence is observed. Contrary to expectations, Mg does not induce ferroelectricity or relaxor-like behaviour in strontium titanate, located in either A- or B-sites of the SrTiO₃ lattice. Moreover, fitting the dielectric behaviour to Barretts law demonstrates that B-site doping drives the system away from the ferroelectric instability. In Mg-doped strontium titanate ceramics the dielectric permittivity and dielectric losses decrease. The results are discussed based on the correlation between cation-site occupancy, charge and chemical stoichiometry in both systems.

High temperature thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped ZnO ceramics

Solid-state reaction processing technique was used to prepare Zn_xNb_1−xO (0≤x≤0.02) polycrystalline bulk samples. In the present study, we find that their lattice parameters a and c tend to decrease with increasing amount of Nb additive. The electrical conductivity of all the Zn_1−xNb_xO samples increased with increasing temperature, indicating a semiconducting behavior in the measured temperature range. The addition of Nb₂O₅ to ZnO led to an increase in the electrical conductivity and a decrease in the absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient. The best performance at 1000 K has been observed for nominal 0.5 at% Nb-doped ZnO, with an electrical resistivity of about 73.13 (S cm⁻¹) and Seebeck coefficient of ∼257.36 μV K⁻¹, corresponding to a power factor (S²σ) of 4.84×10⁻⁴ Wm⁻¹ K⁻². The thermal conductivity, κ, of the oxide decreased as compared to pure ZnO. The figure of merit ZT values of ZnO-doped Nb₂O₅ samples are higher than the ZnO pure sample, demonstrating that the Nb₂O₅ addition is fairly effective for enhancing thermoelectric properties.

Effect of optical pump on the dielectric properties of SrTiO_3 in terahertz range

Tuning the dielectric permittivity spectra of strontium titanate （SrTiO3） single crystals in an extemal optical field is investigated at room temperature by means of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The application of the optical field leads to an appreciable tuning of the permittivity, reaching up to 2.8%, with the dielectric loss changing about 3%. The observed behavior is interpreted in terms of soft-mode hardening due to the anharmonic character of its potential. We also find that the change of the refractive index responds linearly to the applied light power. These findings are attributed to a linear electro-optical effect of the internal space charge field of the crystal.

La2O3对Yb:Y2O3透明陶瓷光谱性能的影响

研究了La2O3对Yb:Y2O3透明陶瓷光谱性能的影响,添加适量La2O3以后,Yb:Y2O3透明陶瓷的吸收峰和发射峰的位置不变,但由于La3+的离子半径大于Y3+的离子半径,在Y2O3中引入La3+离子后,导致Y2O3晶格常数变大,晶场强度变弱,同时降低了Y2O3晶体的有序度,致使发射峰强度有所下降,发射截面变小.过量的La2O3(x=0.16)造成Yb3+激活离子发射强度明显下降;其荧光寿命在添加La2O3后总体增大45%-60%.     

Polar discontinuity doping of the LaVO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} interface

We have investigated the transport properties of LaVO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} Mott-insulator-band-insulator heterointerfaces for various configurations. The (001)-oriented n-type VO_{2}/LaO/TiO_{2} polar discontinuity is conducting, exhibiting a LaVO3 thickness-dependent metal-insulator transition and low temperature anomalous Hall effect. The (001) p-type VO_{2}/SrO/TiO_{2} interface, formed by inserting a single layer of bulk metallic SrVO3 or SrO, drives the interface insulating. The (110) heterointerface is also insulating, indicating interface conduction arising from electronic reconstructions.

Effect of B-site isovalent doping on electrical and ferroelectric properties of lead free bismuth titanate ceramics

In the present work, zirconium modified bismuth titanate ceramics have been studied as potential lead-free ferroelectric materials over a broad temperature range (RT – 800 °C). Polycrystalline samples of Bi₄Ti_3−xZr_xO₁₂ (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6) (BZrT) with high electrical resistivity were prepared using the solution combustion technique. The effect of Zr doping on the crystalline structure, ferroelectric properties and electrical conduction characteristics of BZrT ceramics were explored. Addition of zirconium to bismuth titanate enhances its dielectric constant and reduces the loss factor as it introduces orthorhombic distortion in bismuth titanate lattice which is exhibited by the growth along (0010) lattice plane. Activation energy due to relaxation is found to be greater than that due to conduction thus confirming that electrical conduction in these ceramics is not due to relaxation of dipoles. Remanent polarization of the doped samples increases as the Zirconium content increases.
