YbxCo4Sb12 and InxYb0.3Co4Sb12 bulk materials were synthesized using microwave synthesis and spark plasma sintering. By filling indium into the voids of CoSb3, carrier concentration and mobility were regulated, resulting in an improved power factor. The combination of phonon-resonant scattering and other phonon scattering mechanisms led to a significantly decreased lattice thermal conductivity. Excellent thermoelectric performance was achieved in In0.4Yb0.3Co4Sb12, reflected by its high ZT value at 773 K.
In this study, YbxCo4Sb12 and InxYb0.3Co4Sb12 bulk materials were fabricated via microwave synthesis combined with spark plasma sintering. Based on ytterbium single filling, indium was further filled into the voids of CoSb3. Carrier concentration and mobility were regulated as 1.6-1.8 x 1020 cm -3 and-30 cm2V-1S-1, respectively, resulting in an improved power factor of-4900 mu Wm- 1K-2. The phonon-resonant scattering, caused by indium and ytterbium double filling, was combined with other phonon scattering mechanisms such as nano-inclusion, dislocation, and grain boundary segregation, which resulted in a significantly decreased lattice thermal con-ductivity of 0.72-2.08 Wm- 1K-1. Owing to the improvements in carrier concentration and phonon transport, excellent thermoelectric performance, reflected by ZT = 1.38 at 773 K, was achieved in In0.4Yb0.3Co4Sb12.
