Motivation

  • n-type TE oxide
  • Abundant elements
  • ZT ~ 0.6

Seebeck Electrical conductivity Thermal conductivity Temperature

ZnO as thermoelectric material

  • High densities at low temperatures
  • Small grain sizes Low thermal conductivity (κ)

Why SPS?

  • Transparent oxide (Gap ~ 3.3 eV)
  • Hexagonal structure
  • Stability at high temperatures
  • Biocompatible
  • Multiple applications: Photovoltaics, varistors, medicine…

Starting powder:

  • Synthesis by co-precipitation of pure and 0.3% Al-doped ZnO
  • Non isotropic morphologies
  • Flower like structures in pure ZnO
  • Isolated platelets, nanoparticles and needles in doped ZnO
  • Isotropic nanoparticles in doped ZnO

SPS :

  • Dense ceramic at 500°C
  • Differences in shrinkage due to different starting morphologies

TE properties (doped samples):

  • No influence of texturation on Seebeck and thermal conductivity
  • Influence of texturation on the electrical resistivity:
  • Higher resistivity along the 100 direction at low T (T < 300°C)
  • No influence at high temperatures (T > 300°C)
