摘要
Highly-textured NaCo2O4 ceramics were prepared and the thermoelectric properties were examined in the preferred {001} plane. Plate-like Co3O4 particles were synthesized and used as a reactive template for c-axis oriented NaCo2O4 ceramics. Tape casting of the template particles with Na2CO2 and the following in-situ reaction produced grain-oriented ceramics topotaxially as designed. The textured ceramic specimen had in-plane electrical conductivity: 600-300 S cm(-1), Seebeck coefficient, 60-120 VV K-1 and thus power factor: 2-5 x 10(-4) W mK(-2) in the temperature range from room temperature to 700 degreesC. A large excess amount of Na and inhomogeneity in its distribution could be attributed to the lower transport properties than expected from those of a single crystal. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
