Atomic Structure and Lattice Dynamics of CoSb3 Skutterudite-Based Thermoelectrics

Joao Elias F. S. Rodrigues et al.

Summary: The local and electronic structures of CoSb3 skutterudite were evaluated using X-ray absorption technique. The analysis of extended X-ray absorption fine-structure oscillations at the Sb K-edge confirmed the body-centered cubic phase. The valence states of Co and Sb in CoSb3 were estimated based on the edge shift values, suggesting partial charge transfer from the metal to the pnictide element. The boundaries of short- and long-range order techniques for structural characterization of skutterudite-based thermoelectrics were established by comparing the results with those obtained from X-ray diffraction.

Summary: Skutterudite-type compounds filled with different elements show improved thermoelectric performance by reducing thermal conductivity, but the mechanism affecting bulk moduli does not come from lattice expansion.

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations on the Structural, Electronic, and Vibrational Properties of Cs2AgSbCl6 Double Perovskite

Joao Elias F. S. Rodrigues et al.

Summary: While organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites have seen rapid development in solar cell applications, challenges such as decomposition, lead toxicity, and moisture sensitivity still exist. Double perovskites, derived from the original hybrid perovskites, offer a promising alternative by replacing lead ions with a combination of monovalent and trivalent ions. The synthesis and characterization of Cs2AgSbCl6 samples for solar cell applications have shown promising results, with efficient crystal phase formation and suitable band gap properties.

Strongly reduced lattice thermal conductivity in Sn-doped rare-earth (M) filled skutterudites MxCo4Sb12-ySny, promoted by Sb-Sn disordering and phase segregation

J. Gainza et al.

Summary: Rare-earth metals have been filled in CoSb3 thermoelectric skutterudite under high-pressure conditions, leading to a phase segregation with different unit-cell sizes. This results in a dramatic decrease in total thermal conductivity and a substantial enhancement in power factor with charge transfer promoted by the filler.
