Synthesis and Thermoelectric Properties of Pd-Doped ZrCoBi Half-Heusler Compounds

In this study, n-type Pd-doped ZrCo(1-x)Pd(x)Bi (x = 0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09) half-Heusler samples were prepared by arc-melting and rapid hot-pressing sintering. The thermoelectric properties of ZrCo(1-x)Pd(x)Bi samples were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that the electrical properties of Zr...

description In this study, n-type Pd-doped ZrCo(1-x)Pd(x)Bi (x = 0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09) half-Heusler samples were prepared by arc-melting and rapid hot-pressing sintering. The thermoelectric properties of ZrCo(1-x)Pd(x)Bi samples were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that the electrical properties of ZrCo(1-x)Pd(x)Bi, including electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient, increase due to the substitution of Pd on Co site. The lattice thermal conductivity of ZrCo(1-x)Pd(x)Bi is markedly decreased because of the Pd/Co substitution. A minimum κ(L) of 5.0 W/mK for ZrCo(0.91)Pd(0.09)Bi is achieved at 800 K. The figure of merit of ZrCo(1-x)Pd(x)Bi is boosted due to the depressed lattice thermal conductivity and the improved power factor. The highest value of figure of merit reaches 0.23 for ZrCo(0.97)Pd(0.03)Bi half-Heusler compound at 800 K.
