The effect of Cu substitution on microstructure and thermoelectric properties of LaCoO(3) ceramics

La(Co, Cu)O(3-δ) ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering of citrate precursor powders, and their thermoelectric properties were investigated with an emphasis on the influence of Cu doping and phase structure as well as microstructure. It was found that a secondary phase first appeared in the form of a network along the grain boundaries and then changed to dispersion with increasing Cu content, which effectively reduced the lattice thermal conductivity of the materials. The thermal conductivity was only 1.21 W m(-1) K(-1) for the sample LaCo(0.75)Cu(0.25)O(3-δ), being much lower as for the thermoelectric oxide materials. In addition, a small amount of Cu substitution for Co increased the electrical conductivity greatly and the absolute Seebeck coefficient, whose sign was also reversed from negative to positive. The dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, of LaCoO(3-δ) oxides at low and middle temperatures can be remarkably enhanced by substituting Co with Cu.

Enhancement of the power factor of [Bi1.68Ca2O4]RS[CoO2]1.69 – Ag composites prepared by the spray-drying method

[Bi_1.68Ca₂O₄]^RS[CoO₂]_1.69 (BCCO) sample and Ag-BCCO composites (with 10, 20 or 30 wt% Ag) have been prepared by the spray-drying technique and uniaxially/isostatically packed. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that the Ag particles are well distributed in the BCCO cobaltite matrix at low Ag contents. The Ag particles have an important effect on densification and grain orientation of the samples, with a direct impact on their electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity is higher for the uniaxial samples and increases with the Ag content up to 20% in weight, while the Seebeck coefficient is hardly affected. These features induce an improvement of the power factor, reaching a maximum value of 2.2 μW K^?2 cm^?1 at ～1050 K for the uniaxial sample with 20 wt% Ag. Our results suggest that the spray-drying technique is a promising method to obtain composites with a well-dispersed secondary phase.     

Preparation and Characterization of Polysulfone/Nanosilver-Doped Activated Carbon Nanocomposite

In this study, nano silver-doped activated carbon (Ag/C) acted as an inorganic additive and was blended with a polysulfone (PSF) matrix in a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, thereby forming nano silver- doped activated carbon/polysulfone (Ag/C/PSF) composites. Subsequently, the silver content and characterization of the Ag/C were identified using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The FTIR, XRD, EDS and SEM were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the Ag/C/PSF composites. The FTIR spectra analysis revealed that adding a small volume of Ag/C in a PSF matrix did not substantially affect the functional groups of the matrix. The XRD results showed that the characteristic crystallization peaks of Ag/C/PSF (2θ = 26°) increased as the Ag/C content increased. The EDS results revealed that silver elements were inlaid into Ag/C/PSF composites, and the SEM results demonstrated strong interfacial interaction between the Ag/C particles and PSF matrix. The results of thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry appeared that adding Ag/C particles increased the thermal decomposition temperature and glass transition temperature of the Ag/C/PSF composites. From a stress–strain analysis, the added Ag/C particles enhanced the tensile strength of the PSF matrix. The results of contact-angle and atomic-force microscopy measuring showed that the hydrophobicity and surface roughness increased when Ag/C content increased. The antibacterial test results revealed that the Ag/C/PSF composites exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In addition, the electrical conductivity measurements showed that volume resistivity of the Ag/C/PSF composites decreased with the amount of Ag/C increase.     

Significant enhancement of electrical and thermal conductivities of polyethylene carbon nanotube composites by the addition of a low amount of silver nanoparticles

Electrically and thermally conductive high‐density polyethylene composites filled with hybrid fillers, multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and silver nanoparticles (Ag‐NPs), have been prepared in the melt state. The investigation of their electrical and thermal conductivities while comparing with high‐density polyethylene/MWCNT binary composites shows that the addition of only 3 vol% of Ag‐NPs does not reduce the electrical percolation threshold (P_c) that remains as low as 0.40 vol% of MWCNTs but leads to an increase in the maximum dc electrical conductivity of PE/MWCNT composites by two orders of magnitudes. Moreover, the association of both Ag‐NPs and carbon nanotube particles improved our composite's thermal conductivity. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
