    Improving thermoelectric properties of Ca3Co4O9+ through both Na doping and K addition at optimal values
    (Springer, 2019) Ozkurt, Berdan; Aytekin, M. Ersin; Madre, M. A.; Sotelo, A.; Torres, M. A.
    Ca2.93Na0.07Co4Oy/x wt% K2CO3 (x=0.00, 0.01, and 0.03) polycrystalline ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state method. XRD results have shown that all samples predominantly include Ca3Co4O9 phase together with small amounts of secondary phases. SEM images show that all samples have randomly oriented plate-like grains in different sizes. The electrical resistivity measurement showed that electrical properties of Ca3Co4O9 ceramics can be improved significantly by both, Na doping and K addition at their optimal values. The effect of dopants on thermoelectric properties of Ca3Co4O9 was examined by both, Seebeck coefficient and power factor, being higher in K-added than in the pure samples, indicating that thermoelectric properties of samples are positively affected when alkaline elements enter into their structure.
