RF plasma processing technique was used to prepare M-doped (up to 4 at%) ZnO nanopowders. The as-prepared powders were subsequently hot pressed to form sintered pellets. The temperature-dependent electrical and thermal proper-ties of the sintered materials were measured from room temperature to 800 degrees C. All the doped samples showed metallic electrical conductivity and the overall thermoelectric performances were comparable to doped ZnO thermoelectric materials obtained by other nanoprocessing techniques. The results showed that RF plasma processing technique can be effectively used to produce doped nanopowders. The thermoelectric performance of the doped samples was discussed and related to the microstructure of the materials. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
