摘要
The as-sintered Zn1-xTixO (0.01 <= x <= 0.05) samples contained a solid solution of Zn1-xTixO with a wurtzite structure and a small amount of the cubic spinel Zn2TiO4. The amount of Zn2TiO4 increased with an increase in TiO2 content. The density and grain size increased with the small TiO2 content (<= 0.01), and then they decreased gradually by further increasing the TiO2 content. The addition of TiO2 to ZnO led to a significant increase in the electrical conductivity and a decrease in the absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient, resulting in an increase in the power factor. The highest value of power factor (7.6 x 10(-4) W m(-1) K-2) was attained for Zn0.98Ti0.02O at 1073 K. It is demonstrated that the TiO2 addition is fairly effective for enhancing thermoelectric properties. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
